When it comes to refugees in the US, there are some poignant narratives. Buffalo alone has countless success stories spearheaded by its refugee community. At the same time, numerous success stories were birthed in controversy, which is why it’s so important to document the journeys.
2021 will be the third year that Journey’s End Refugee Services will host its WNY Refugee Film Festival known as “Reel Refugees.” The festival will not only showcase some heavy hitting (and very timely) films, it will also incorporate “special guest speakers, and eight films guaranteed to entertain, educate, and enlighten for an unforgettable cinematic experience.”
