Three Chaplains (virtual screening)

The Chaplaincy Innovation Lab community is invited to a special preview screening of Three Chaplains, a new PBS documentary about Muslim chaplains in the U.S. military and their fight for equality and religious freedom. Check out the film’s website and trailer here.

On October 25th at Noon EST, the Lab’s community is invited to participate in a live talkback session with Lab Director Wendy Cadge and filmmakers David Washburn and Razi Jafri, followed by the chaplains profiled in the film.  Please reserve your ticket to receive access to the film and instructions for joining the live Q&A session. Registrants will receive access to the film 48 hours before the event—when they will have an opportunity to watch the film before it broadcasts nationwide on PBS, November 6 on Independent Lens.  Space is limited, so register today! Please RSVP by October 20.

Three Chaplains tells the stories of Chaplains Rafael Lantigua, Khallid Shabazz, and Saleha Jabeen, and how despite decades of military service, some still view them as the enemy and unfit to serve because of their beliefs. Rather than simply blend in, these three chaplains accept the challenges and inherent dangers of being the public face of Islam for the U.S. military. Three Chaplains goes inside the armed forces to reveal how these chaplains practice, teach, and share their faith with troops around the country. Rafael, Khallid, and Saleha each face resistance—from accusations of terror to disapproval from their own families and community—while ascending to the highest ranks of the military.

Reserve your ticket here.

Event made possible by a grant to Three Chaplains by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
