About the Movie - www.dwf-film.com <http://www.dwf-film.com/> 

The journey to make the film began when 20-year old college student Valarie
Kaur drove across the country in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist
attacks on September 11, 2001, documenting stories in the Sikh, Muslim, and
Arab American communities. Over the next five years, Valarie Kaur's journey
unfolded into a larger exploration of 'who counts' as American. In 2005,
award-winning director Sharat Raju and his film crew joined Valarie as she
retraced her steps across the country, revisiting her original interviewees
and interviewing scholars, lawyers, and legislators about race, religion,
and security in post-9/11 America."

Driven to action by the murder of a turbaned man in her community, a college
student drives across America in the aftermath of 9/11 to discover stories
that did not make the evening news. From the still-shocked streets of Ground
Zero to the desert towns of the American West, Valarie Kaur's inspiring
journey uncovers remarkable stories of hate violence, fear, and unspeakable
loss - until she finds the heart of America halfway around the world, in the
words of widow. Five years in the making, Divided We Fall deftly explores
race, religion, and identity in times of national crisis.
