Every year thousands of people who suffer persecution flee their home countries o seek refuge in the United States. After surviving untold horrors, these people have no choice but to leave everything behind: their homes, their jobs, their communities and even their families. This unique CLE will share one of these stories through a special screening of the short award-winning documentary “Refugee” about a West African woman who made the biggest sacrifice of all when she boarded a plane for the US in 2003, leaving her 5 children behind. Following the film, The Advocates for Human Rights will present an overview on the legal process of family reunification for refugees.
