On March 12, Mattapoisett Congregational Church will host Stories beyond Borders. The program features five short films that show a more complete picture of the experiences of immigrant families and communities. Beyond building empathy, these films lift up real stories of resilience and strength, while illustrating some of the ways people can give their time, energy and resources to support organizing led by immigrant communities.
Following the films, representatives from the Immigrants’ Assistance Center and the Community Economic Development Council will answer questions about local immigration issues and talk about opportunities to support immigrants in our community.
Stories beyond Borders is a project of Working Films, a national nonprofit organization based in Wilmington, NC.
This free event will be held Sunday, March 12, 3:00 – 5:00 pm, in Reynard Hall at Mattapoisett Congregational Church, 27 Church Street, Mattapoisett.
