The Bystander Moment is a 49-minute documentary, produced by The Media Education Foundation and features interviews with Jackson Katz, an expert on gender violence prevention and leadership training. While The Bystander Moment primarily focuses on how to address cultures that are conducive to violence against women, the film also speaks to how homophobia silences men who take a stand against the sexualization or mistreatment of women. Ultimately, the message of The Bystander Moment is a hopeful one. We all have the capacity to change our culture, in daily ways! Thinking about how to be a better bystander has rarely been as important in the United States. As our political climate is increasingly hostile towards immigrants, people of color, trans people and other members of the LGBTQ community, practicing good bystander behavior will be ever more important to keeping our community healthy and safe for people of all backgrounds. This film is being made available to the Verde Valley community for free by Sedona Indivisible’s LGBTQ + Action group. Everyone who cares about creating a safer community is welcome to attend. Bystander Moment will be followed by small group discussions and role plays of how we can collectively create a safer, more inclusive culture in Sedona.
