"When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher wall"

We are facing the largest migration in human history. Oscar nominated directed Josh Fox goes to the frontlines of displacement - Paradise, CA, Boulder, CO, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, the Caribbean - and meets people faced with the impossible decision to flee their homes.

The current global migration policy is based on borders, walls, incarceration, dehumanisation, and fear. What is possible, if instead, we welcome each other? In the final scene, like a great Shakespearean comedy, lovers unite at the table, elders share wisdom and predictions for our shared future. There is much struggle and strife, but we unite in celebration and sincere hope for a caring future amidst the painful reality of climate displacement.

This venue is accessible. If you are unwell or suspect you may be coming down with something please stay home to protect the wellbeing of others. Masks are welcome.
