"After 9/11 I anticipated some sort of backlash against Indians, Pakistanis, and those with brown skin. As a native of DE, I had only heard of some vandalism of the local Hindu temple. I came to see Divided We Fall in order to find out the other stories, those belonging to a non-oblivious 16-year-old. This movie was powerful, emotional, and a real eye opener. I never knew there were such acts of violence against Sikhs and others labeled as 'terrorists.' I would like to thank you for making this movie and bringing such incidents and issues to the public at large!"

"I've studied these concepts of racism and intergroup threat as well as the philosophy of nonviolence. In as much as these studies have provoked my thoughts upon such evil truths this film has identified, I think it's important to look to the root cause. Hate is evil. Love is good. The golden rule must abound. Love one another. Does it come naturally? Certainly not. Our human nature is filled with sin. I know that it's essential to seek God in our efforts to satisfy the golden rule. Nonetheless, no matter what or who you put your faith in, morality is put upon our heart, and justice is to uphold that. I'm glad you identified the danger that our government leaders have created in solving problems in fear and punishment rather than love."

"I was surprised that Sonny didn't feel passionate to share the meaning of wearing his turban to himself. In learning about Sikhs I understood it to be a sign of devotion but was interested to hear more about the values and meaning it holds. If Sikhs would share more about their beliefs and how the turban symbolizes that it might change people's opinions who simply ask them to take it off."

"Humanistic connection changes everything. Love the ideas/issues raised in the film. In an idealistic world, everybody would be good, but human nature, culture, and values within make the world scary at times."

"This film helped open my eyes even more towards discrimination and hate towards others. I learned so much from this film and it has changed my life and my thoughts toward other races and religions."

"I very much appreciate the effort and time taken to bring such important observations to light. Oral history is integral to the growth of a society. This is the true history of a country and its people. Thank you for continuing this tradition."

"I think that there were a couple of guys (two mainly, in the train station) that give Christians a bad light. Oftentimes we see those that do not represent all of us but that is what is always portrayed and gives viewers the wrong impression.

I was impressed with the interviews you were able to get and commend you for the quality of the film."
