Fireworks were bursting out of Theater 13, site of the World Premiere of Ziad H. Hamzeh's THE LETTER, which centers on the town of Lewiston, Maine and the uproar that divides the town when a wave of Somalian immigrants move in. Nearly all audience members stayed for the Q & A, with the discussion eventually turning to the role of media in the film. Some in the audience attacked the media's preoccupation with putting all negative groups, such as neo-Nazis, on center stage. Others, however, defended the media, suggesting that the coverage of the inflammatory groups helped motivate protests against racism. "I do not pretend to know [what to do]," said Hamzeh about the social turmoil on display in the film. "But if you hear about injustice, don't put your fingers in your ears."
