Better Together Film Festival: Free Screening of 9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero

Join us in celebration of America's 250th Anniversary! LET'S LISTEN. LET'S UNDERSTAND. LET'S MOVE FORWARD.
Throughout the month of July 2026, community spaces across the country are inviting local audiences to participate in the third annual Better Together Film Festival. The festival aims to shift the culture of the country away from division and toward cohesion and hope.
In celebration, CREATE Foundation invites residents of North Mississippi who seek creative ways of solving important problems to a free film screening and discussion.
9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero tells the story of how more than 5,000 New Yorkers challenged fast-tracked redevelopment plans and helped shape the future of Ground Zero through the largest town hall in American history. The film reveals how a well-designed deliberative process can give citizens a meaningful role in public decision-making and turn disagreement into collective action. At a time of declining trust in democratic institutions, it offers a timely reminder that democracy can work when people are invited to participate in ways that are substantive, inclusive, and consequential.
Attend the screening event and stick around for a facilitated conversation that will inspire strength and spark connections across differences. Register to attend at the link above.
Doors open at 5:30pm.
