Film Screening: The Arrivals
March 25 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$5Join us for a special screening of The Arrivals, a documentary that chronicles the experiences of asylum seekers transported to New York City from the Texas border in 2022. The film spotlights the tireless efforts of three volunteer-led organizations, headed by Adama Bah, Ilze Thielmann, and Power Malu, who provide essential support—including food, clothing, legal assistance, and a sense of security—to individuals and families striving for a better life. Through their stories, The Arrivals underscores the profound impact of human kindness and reminds us of our shared immigrant heritage and interconnected humanity.
The screening will be followed by a Q+A with director Andrea DeGeorge Garbarini and volunteer group leaders Ilze Thielmann and Power Malu. Moderated by Ruth Messinger.
Presented in partnership with the Marlene Meyerson JCC, Artists Athletes Activists, D3 Open Arms, The Interfaith Center of New York, Mañana Otro Dia, SAJ, the Shul of New York, St. Paul & St. Andrew United Methodist Church, The Synagogue Coalition on the Refugee and Immigration Crisis, and Team TLC NYC.
