Stranger at the Gate
|
|
| Borth devastating and joyful, this film explores the darkest depths of humanity as well as the deepest joys in facing the truths hidden in our souls. This documentary carefully tells the story of a former Marine with P.T.S.D. who planned to attack Muslims at a mosque in Indiana—until an unexpected encounter with faith caused the would-be assasin to have a change of heart that was lifechanging. Josh Seftel’s documentary “Stranger at the Gate” tells the story of a man who was consumed by fear and hate and felt his only way to cope was to kill those he feared. This beautiful film has inspired many to examine their own biases to discover what it is that makes us all human and how we may reach out to those who hate us. "Stranger at the Gate" offers hope that by having compassion and becoming neighbors to one another, it is possible that we may create a better world together. |

Not only had D’Abramo previously missed out on the games, but this was also his last chance to participate due to age restrictions. Chase notes, “I felt like our friendship was more important than the race, so I decided to just let it go.” His compassionate gesture not only brightened his friend’s life, but also reinforced the value of camaraderie over competition. { read more }
