The United States is experiencing a surge in hate crimes as a tide of white supremacy gathers momentum nationwide with Muslim and Jewish communities particularly at risk. Stranger/Sister is the story of two ordinary women, one Muslim and one Jewish, who dare to believe they can join hands to stop the wave of hate. Overcoming a long history of distrust between their two religions, they build a movement that turns strangers into sisters, challenging our assumptions about how to fight hate in America. Following women from the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom chapters in Austin, Chicago, and across the nation, the Sisters build a powerful network of hope in a time of chaos and hate, challenging our assumptions about how to fight hate in America and perhaps around the world.
