Immigration Film

SOPHIA IMMIGRATION FILM FESTIVAL
9:00 am gathering; 9:30 film

9500 Liberty documents the first time in U.S. history that an Arizona-style immigration law was actually implemented—and the surprising grassroots opposition that led to its repeal.

Racial tension and threats of violence erupt when Prince William County, Virginia adopts a law requiring the police to question people who appear to be undocumented immigrants. Supporters of the law ride a wave of hysteria to an election victory. But many reconsider when the local economy feels the impact of a sudden exodus of workers, consumers, and business owners. Despite fears of reprisal, a group of concerned citizens launches a “virtual resistance” using social media, setting up a final showdown with the law’s ferocious advocates.

An opportunity to examine immigration policy, followed by discussion.

Refreshments will be served.  Come, watch, reflect, and discuss!

Immigration issues will be squarely presented by Republicans and Democrats in this year’s elections.  Be ready!  Be informed!
