Please note: This screening is currently sold-out. If you have tickets but cannot attend the show, please contact the Box Office at 203-259-1036 This is a critical moment, with more refugees today than anytime in the last century. In Syria alone, more than 4 million people have fled the country to escape the atrocities of war. Right now, we are at risk of losing a generation of youth, destabilizing the region, and perpetuating a cycle of violence and poverty. In an effort to better understand refugee life, we spent one month this winter living alongside displaced families in the Za’atari refugee camp. As the first filmmakers ever allowed by the United Nations to be given a tent and registered inside a refugee camp, we were able to get a never before seen look into the world’s most pressing crisis. Our experience uncovered overwhelming trauma but also the untapped potential our uprooted neighbors posses. With the right programs we can support healing, ease the burden on host countries and even empower the disenfranchised by unleashing people’s creativity. Director Chris Temple and Producer Zach Ingrasci will be joining us for a panel discussion along with representatives from IICONN and Save the Children.   *Please Note: This is a FREE Event, however, advance ticket reservation is necessary.
