The global refugee crisis is evidence of what happens when contempt, hostility, and tribalism consume a country. The Clarkston community, which has welcomed over 60,000 refugees since 1980, should serve as a warning for our country. Each resettled refugee represents a life destroyed by societies who valued their ideology over their humanity. Ironically, Clarkston became a rich tapestry of diversity and peace as a result of violence and war. Watch a clip from the documentary film, and discuss with the filmmakers how film can be used as a tool to share stories of people from wildly diverse backgrounds and cultures making the radical and deliberate choice to live peacefully with one another.
