CUNY Month - Prejudices That Shaped The World Film Series
In 2002, three French neofacist skinheads went to a public park
in Rheims looking for an 'Arab' to attack when they came across
Francois Chenu, a young gay man. When he refused to deny his
homosexuality while being taunted with gay slurs, he was
viciously beaten and thrown unconscious into a pond, where he
was drowned. Beyond Hatred explores the social and
psychological roots of homophobia and similar hate crimes, and it
demonstrates the emotional maturity that enables the rare human
quality of forgiveness. OCD credit is available for this event.
Coordinated by the Department of History and the Office of
Student Life.
