Aug. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- TORONTO, AUGUST 7, 2012 – Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation will host premiere screenings in Toronto and Ottawa of its latest documentary feature, Across the Divide. It depicts the plight faced by the students of Bethlehem University and the struggles faced by the De La Salle Brothers who administer the school.  The event is co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of Toronto, CNEWA Canada, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher Canada-Toronto Lieutenancy and St. Michael’s College School.

Shot on location in Israel and Palestinian Territories, Across the Divide gives hope amid the divisions that have all too often defined the Holy Land.

The evening’s event will begin at 6:00pm with a reception, followed by the screening at 7:00pm.  Participating in the evenings event, His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, Carl Hetu of CNEWA Canada, co-director of the film Kris Dmytrenko as well as Fr.
