Join us for this timely film & discussion
Asylum Seekers and Refugees from many areas of the world and specifically from Central and South America are desperately trying to immigrate to the United States. These migrants are traveling through dangerous areas and difficult terrain to reach the southern border of the US with the hopes of making a better life for themselves and their families.
When they arrive at the southern border they face danger, uncertainty, and a very large wall. Even after treacherous journeys to reach the Mexico/US border there are countless other, possibly insurmountable, obstacles. If they do reach the US to seek asylum they face arrest, detention, and possibly even deportation back to Mexico or the country from which they tried so hard to escape. We will hear their stories and the challenges they face on their journeys and explore possible remedies to what has become a broken system of immigration in the United States.
