We will be airing two short 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.

Second Responders - Second Responders is a short documentary that explores the emotional aftermath of the 2023 Lewiston, Maine, mass shooting from the perspective of public school teachers. Often overlooked in conversations surrounding tragedy and recovery, educators were forced to become emotional anchors for grieving students while navigating their own fear, trauma, and uncertainty.  

The screening will be followed by a community discussion.
