The documentary I AM PEACE 2, tells the story of a youth basketball tournament and mentorship program created for teens in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Now an annual tradition, the I AM PEACE tournament was launched by the community group BlackMarketWares in response to several shootings in Jackie Robinson Park in 2014. To combat gun violence in the community, the tournament is held in the same park where the shootings occurred.
Join us as we mark Gun Violence Awareness Month with a screening of I AM PEACE 2 and a Q&A with the videographer, creators of the tournament and some of the teen basketball players.
Free with Museum admission.
