Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Films Returns
|
We are excited to partner with Fisk University for another season of outstanding documentary films by southern filmmakers, made possible through a program of South Arts in partnership with National Endowment for the Arts.
Our first film of the season is REFUGE on September 9 @ 7:30 pm at Global Education Center, 4822 Charlotte Avenue. We will be joined by Director Erin Bernhardt.
REFUGE is a story about fear and love in the American South. A leader in a white nationalist hate group finds healing from the people he once hated - a Muslim heart doctor and his town of refugees. 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. Swimming against the current of an increasingly polarized and isolated America, each must decide whether they will risk knowing and being known by those who oppose them. 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. REFUGE illustrates the false promises of hate and reveals where real and lasting refuge is found. Where there is love, there is refuge.
