Event Details

This is Home: A Refugee Story, a film produced in 2018 by the International Rescue Committee, is an intimate portrait of four Syrian refugee families arriving in America and struggling to find their footing. Displaced from their homes and separated from loved ones, they are given eight months of assistance from the International Rescue Committee to become self-sufficient. As they learn to adapt to challenges, including the newly imposed travel ban, their strength and resilience are tested. It is a universal story, highlighted by humor and heartbreak, about what it’s like to start over, no matter the obstacles.

Part of a film series for The Warmth of Other Suns: Stories of Global Displacement.
