Chicago is an incredibly segregated city, so we don’t often get to know one another, to share our stories. We will never be able to end racism if we can’t get people to see themselves in one another… if we can’t see the humanity in people who look different. Closer to the Truth is not just the title of a powerful film, it is a call to action. In other words, we have to be willing to remove the artifice, destroy the safety nets and get out of our comfort zones so that we can move our society closer to the truth, heal our wounds and transform our nation.
