The screening will take place Tuesday, April 25 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Bristol Township School District Administration Building on Blue Lake Road in Levittown. The event is free.
The screening will be hosted by the Bristol Township School District, Bristol Township police, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, and The Peace Center.
The 2017 film has been shown at past events hosted by Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub.

Here is a description of the film: “As minority communities face the daily stranglehold of racial profiling, and police officers face relentless scrutiny by an anxious public, tensions mount as lines are being drawn in the sand. This conflict can only be broken by finding common ground with each other.”
The L.O.V.E. message is: Learn, Open, Volunteer, and Empower.
A mural inspired by the film will be painted at Bristol Township Municipal Park in May. Similar murals have been put up in Falls Township and Morrisville Borough.

Earlier this year, the director of the film, A.J. Ali, was honored by Weintraub and the Bucks County Commissioners and presented a proclamation for his work.
“His work has inspired a series of police-community workshops that many Bucks County police departments and residents have participated in. L.O.V.E. is the Answer murals are also proudly displaced,” the county government said.
