- “Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness” Community Screening Guide
The 2011 PBS documentary special “Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness” chronicles the story of community leaders and residents taking positive action after the hate crime killing of an Ecuadorian immigrant in Patchogue, New York. The film exposes the meaningful, long-term commitments made in the aftermath of the tragedy to change the culture of a town and make it a safe place for everyone. A crucial part of the story was the need for local law enforcement to initiate a positive working relationship with the immigrant population and to collaborate with community partners. This community screening guide includes a Discussion Guide (English and Spanish versions), tips for planning a public screening and discussion of the film, and sample promotional materials, among other resources.
- Not In Our Town: Billings, Montana

The film highlighted a powerful community policing message from the Billings police chief, who stressed quick police/community action to address hate crimes. The project spawned the Not In Our Town network, demonstrating how to use film to promote civic participation and empower individuals to create positive change in their own communities.
- Not In Our Town Northern California: When Hate Happens Here
