Chapel Hill, NC – The Christian Action Network (CAN) and PRB Films will show its groundbreaking documentary opposing the controversial Ground Zero Mosque on March 16, 2011 – at the Carolina Hotel just a short distance from where Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will be lecturing in favor of building the Mosque.
CAN is conducting a nationwide tour with the film and survivors of 9/11 targeting cities specifically where Imam Rauf is visiting. This will be the second encounter Rauf and the protest program will be in the same vicinity at the same time.
CAN President and developer of SACRIFICED SURVIVORS: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque, Martin Mawyer said, "Our tour was created to combat Rauf’s attempt to garner public support for his GZ mosque. We made this film so that the people who were on the scene on 9/11 or lost family members in those attacks could have their say on the Ground Zero mosque issue."
Following the screening and program, CAN and organizers are planning a candle-light 9/11 Remembrance Walk on the campus at Hill Hall where Rauf will be speaking.

March 16, 2011 – 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Film Begins at 6:00 PM
