AGENDA
Reception
Introduction by Film Maker Julia Meltzer
Film Screening
Discussion of the Issues Raised by the Film
The film tells the nuanced story of members of a family displaced by the Syrian conflict who are remaking their lives in America. Lively and energetic, teen Dalya goes to Catholic high school and her mother, Rudayna, enrolls in college as they both walk the line between their Muslim values and the new world in which they find themselves.
As we watch this hour-fifteen minute film about one teenage Syrian refugee girl and her family, we will be thinking about the elements of this refugee experience. Though many have experienced this complex life passage, we will focus on and discuss the unique issues experienced by Muslim Syrians fleeing a devastating and protracted war.
