PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FILMSCENE
Around the world today, over 122 million individuals have been forcibly displaced by conflict, political instability, famine, and persecution. The staggering scale of this crisis can leave many feeling helpless, believing only governments or large institutions can address such challenges. But what if meaningful change could begin at the community level?
Join ICFRC at FilmScene for a compelling screening of Resettled, a documentary that offers a deeply personal look into the lives of refugees navigating their new realities after resettlement. The film invites viewers beyond headlines and statistics, exploring the resilience, hope, and humanity of those rebuilding their lives far from home.
Following the screening, a facilitated discussion will be hosted by ICFRC board members Dr. Sunday Goshit and Dr. Peter Gerlach. Together with the audience, they will explore the film’s themes and examine the power of local engagement in global challenges - from intercultural understanding to grassroots support for resettled individuals.
This program is an opportunity not only to bear witness but also to reflect on our shared responsibility and potential to foster inclusion and understanding right here in our community.
