The Amadou Diallo Foundation, Inc.
commemorates the Anniversary of Amadou’s Death with a special
screening of the award-winning documentary film
DEATH OF TWO SONS AT THE RIVERSIDE CHURCH
To commemorate of the 8th anniversary of the fatal shooting by the NYPD of
Amadou Diallo, a special screening of the award-winning documentary film, Death of Two Sons, will take place on Friday, February 2, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at The Riverside Church, Assembly Hall, Room 9T, 91 Claremont Ave. (bet. 120th & 122nd St.), Morningside Heights.
Death of Two Sons explores the tragic death of Amadou Diallo and
reveals for the first time the untold intertwining life stories of
Amadou and Jesse Thyne, a white Peace Corps volunteer from
Pasadena, California. Jesse was assigned to Amadou’s home village
in Guinea, West Africa, where he was ‘adopted’ by members of
Amadou’s family and lived in their home. Jesse was present at
Amadou’s funeral in Guinea and grieved with his family. A year
later Jesse was also killed unexpectedly, in circumstances that
allude to a deeper spiritual connection to Amadou’s death.
