In person, free, open to the public

In the Fade follows Katja Sekerci, a woman whose life is shattered when a bomb attack kills her husband, Nuri, and their young son, Rocco.

The attack is racially motivated, targeting Nuri, a reformed drug dealer of Turkish descent.

Katja, consumed by grief and seeking justice, struggles through the legal system to bring the perpetrators to trial.

As the trial unfolds, Katja faces challenges, including the complexities of the legal process and the limitations of justice.

Her despair intensifies as she grapples with the realization that the system might fail to deliver the justice she seeks.

In her anguish, she turns to drugs to numb her pain but remains determined to find closure.

The film navigates the emotional journey of a woman coping with profound loss, exploring themes of grief, vengeance, and the human quest for justice and closure in the face of tragedy, said a press release from the university.  

It also highlights the complexities and shortcomings of the legal system when dealing with crimes of hate and the relentless pursuit of retribution when justice seems elusive.

The film is presented in German with English subtitles.

Carnegie Hall Room 10 is located on the lower level of Carnegie Hall, next to Gunnison Memorial Chapel.
