Room Cary Memorial Library Presents Beth Murphy, Dirctor of the Award Winning Documentary Film 'Beyond Belief'

On Sept. 11, 2001, the lives of two young mothers living in the Boston suburbs were changed beyond belief.  Both women lost their husbands in the terrorist attacks on that unforgettable day.

Rather than turning inwards, grief compelled the women to travel to Afghanistan to help empower Afghan women whose lives have been ravaged by decades of war, poverty and oppression.. As they make the courageous journey from their comfortable suburban neighborhoods to the most desperate Afghan villages, they discover an intense bond with each other, and also a powerful kinship with widows halfway around the world.

This film, Beyond Belief, is the story of these two amazing,  courageous women and their mission of compassion, peace, and hope.  After screening a 45 minute excerpt from the film, we will be joined by the film's director, Beth Murphy, who will lead a discussion and answer your questions.
