New Film on Ground Zero Mosque Set to Premier
Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque to Debut in NYC
New York, NY- On October 28, 2010, the Christian Action Network (CAN) will release its third documentary, Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mosque, which features personal stories from loved ones who lost family members in the tragic and horrifying attacks on September 11, 2001. Through this film, the surviving family members give voice to the thousands who perished by speaking out against the proposed plan to build a 13-story Islamic center-including a mosque-just two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center rubble.
The premier screening will be held in the heart of New York City at the 3 West Club. Family members of the victims of 9/11 and survivors from the World Trade Center terrorist attack will be in attendance, along with activists, civic leaders and local and national politicians.
The screening is free and open to the public. Media are welcome to attend, or they may obtain a copy by contacting Kristen Schremp at Kristen@kaspublicity.com.
"It is a 45 minute film that is fueled by the testimony of the survivors and the families of the victims of the attacks of September 11. It explains how they feel about the mosque being built on the site where their loved ones lost their lives," said President of the Christian Action Network, Martin Mawyer.
"These are the people whose voices matter the most," said Ryan Mauro, CAN's National Security Advisor.
"The debate isn't over whether Muslims have the right to build mosques wherever they'd like," explained Mauro. "We're not saying they can't, we're saying they shouldn't. We hope this film will show why it's so insensitive to continue this project without regard for the feelings of those who lived through 9/11."
In Sacrificed Survivors, CAN reveals the inner workings of the mosque currently being used as a mosque next to Ground Zero. Their undercover cameras show the prayer room that is already in use. This exposé allows the viewer to feel like they are a part of the drama that is unfolding in New York City. The DVD is currently on sale at www.ChristianAction.org.
"Few people are aware that Muslim prayer services are already being held at the site slated to become the Ground Zero mosque and Islamic center," said Mawyer. "The Ground Zero mosque is already a reality."
When: October 28, 2010 at 6:00-9:00 PM ET
Location: 3 W. 51st Street, 3 West Club New York, NY 10019
