Documentary Screening and Discussion
Join for a special screening of The Arrivals, a documentary that chronicles the experiences of asylum seekers transported to New York City from the Texas border in 2022. The film spotlights the tireless efforts of three volunteer-led organizations, headed by Adama Bah, Ilze Thielmann, and Power Malu, who provide essential support—including food, clothing, legal assistance, and a sense of security—to individuals and families striving for a better life. Through their stories, The Arrivals underscores the profound impact of human kindness and reminds us of our shared immigrant heritage and interconnected humanity.
This event is presented in partnership with D3 Open Arms, The Interfaith Center of New York, Mañana Otro Día, New York Jewish Agenda, SAJ, The Shul of New York, St. Paul & St. Andrew United Methodist Church, The Synagogue Coalition on the Refugee and Immigration Crisis, and Team TLC NYC.
Following the film, there will be a Q&A session with director Andrea Garbarini and representatives from Neighbors Link, offering an opportunity to delve deeper into the issues presented and explore ways to support asylum seekers in our community.
Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Don’t miss this chance to engage with a poignant narrative that highlights the resilience of the human spirit.
