About the film
“Religion, Racism & Reconciliation” is a ground-breaking documentary that explores the ways in which racism intertwined with American religion. It follows the stories of individuals and communities of faith who are engaged in addressing the issues of systemic racism, such as — voting rights, income inequality and mass incarceration.
We hear from a broad range of academic and religious luminaries who provide historical and sociological perspectives on the contradiction of an American society that values individual freedom and equality while ignoring the realities of slavery, segregation and racism. The documentary shows that while religion plays a part in our racial division, it also is a meaningful force in our nation’s healing and reconciliation.

What people are saying
‘The portrait Religion, Racism & Reconciliation paints of the United States is a complicated and painful one and asks the challenging question of what it truly means for a deeply disunited and divided culture to come together over the issue of race. The film makes an important statement, that religion can be used to divide but also to unite.‘
