Description

REFUGE is a story about fear and love in the American South. REFUGE is set in the most diverse square mile in America - Clarkston, Georgia - and follows a Syrian Kurd, a former Klansman, and a town of refugees who seek belonging in a country that blames them for its problems. Ultimately, REFUGE uncovers what is possible when we leave the security of our tribes and what is at stake for our country if we don’t. Join us for this free screening & discussion to learn more and find out what you can do to get involved in supporting refugees in Wilmington and in advancing racial justice. Our post screening panel will feature Med North Director, Dr. Mayra Galeano who will speak about providing inclusive healthcare to refugees and immigrants, Church World Service Wilmington Director Wes Magruder who will speak about their organizations work supporting refugees in our community and Dr. Edelmira Segovia who will speak to the work on UNCW's Centro Hispano. Hosted by UNCW Department of World Languages and Culture, Centro Hispano, and Working Films.
