 | This guide is designed to help community groups facilitate discussions and training sessions in conjunction with screenings of the 35-minute Not In Our Town film Waking in Oak Creek. Produced in collaboration with the COPS Office, the film profiles a suburban community and local law enforcement attempting to heal after their town is rocked by deadly hate crime shootings at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, killing six Sikh worshippers. In the following year, community leaders, family members, and police - including an officer shot 15 times by the assailant - join forces to address underlying issues of hate and intolerance. This guide provides discussion questions for use in community screenings. Used together, the film and guide can help agencies and communities work to prevent hate crimes, improve law enforcement-community relations, improve hate crime reporting, enhance investigations and prosecutions, and support victims.Categories: Community PartnershipsLanguage: EnglishPublic link
