TORONTO, August 8, 2012 – Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation will host premiere screenings in Toronto and Ottawa of its latest documentary feature, Across the Divide.

Founded following the visit of Pope Paul VI to the Holy Land in 1964, the school is an oasis where both Catholic and Muslim students live and study side by side amidst the turmoil and violence engulfing the region. Shot on location in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Across the Divideprovides hope amid the divisions that all-too-often define the Holy Land.
