We will be airing two documentary films:
Expanding Sanctuary - An immigrant mother emerges as a community leader during the historic campaign to end the sharing of the Philadelphia police database with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Expanding Sanctuary tells a rarely told story about a Latinx immigrant community’s successful journey to change legislation and protect families.
(Feature Length: 1hour 3 minutes)
Democracy in Dialogue - Democracy in Dialogue is a Smithsonian virtual exchange program designed for students (ages 10-18) to explore how their communities contribute to the American experiment. It pairs schools and youth organizations for a semester-long exchange, culminating in digital stories or projects about local history to mark the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026.
The screening will be followed by a community discussion.
