Description

Sharing Turf is the uplifting, true-life story of a community torn by racial strife, and ultimately coming together to make things better. Just weeks after race riots threatened to further divide Blacks & Hassidic Jews in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, a few youth leaders came together to see if there was anything they could do to foster peace & mutual respect in their community. Initially, youth from both sides came together to dialogue with each other. The participants themselves wanted to carry on and continue with these important discussions. These meetings eventually led to playing sports together, painting art murals in the community, and even making music together. Despite the odds, both on an individual level and from society at large, they formed Project CURE, which stands for Communication, Understanding, Respect, & Education. What they accomplished is nothing short of remarkable, from playing ball during halftime at several NY Knicks games to the CURE band opening up for the US Congress. This feel-good story resonates in today's complex world more than ever, showing what a few caring individuals can do to change society for the better.
