Andrea Green served as Associate Producer. “On the Other Side of the Fence” was first aired in Philadelphia on MiND-TV in 2014 and has been picked up by over 60 public television stations throughout the country. It has been featured at community screenings by the Philadelphia Film Society in Philadelphia, in Rochester and as far away as Estonia. It will air on WHYY-TV on Sunday, October 4 at 1 p.m. The film has received numerous awards including the Gold medal for a Television Documentary on Social Issues from The New York Festivals® (NYF) International Television & Film Awards, the United Nations Department of Public Information Bronze Award for extraordinary public service and the Silver Telly (highest honor) in the 36th Annual Telly Awards, selected from over 12,000 entries.

Students have tied fabric strips along the fence near the Welcome Pope banner and said prayers for the needy in this world; each knot represents someone’s struggle. Altogether, children plan to tie more than 500 fabric knots on the fence. As the children complete service projects this fall and help others, they will remove the knots, with the goal of untying them all by Thanksgiving.
