A Home Called Nebraska: Documentary Screening and Discussion

A Home Called Nebraska, a documentary directed and produced by Beth Gage and George Gage, spotlights people who have escaped war, torture and persecution and introduces the co-sponsors who welcomed them, taught them and helped them find housing and jobs. The refugees are succeeding and giving back to the communities. 

“Poignant, joyful, devastating, and searing…A tremendous vision of what America can be at its best, driven by the dreams and aspirations of its newest members." -  Pablo S. Bose
