SEEKING ASYLUM: A Mother’s Journey

September 27, 2023 @ 6:00 pm 8:30 pm CDT

PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL SHOWING OF:
SEEKING ASYLUM: A Mother’s Journey

SEEKING ASYLUM is an award-winning feature documentary that bears witness to the endless deterrents migrants face when petitioning for asylum in the United States. In a system that has been designed for failure, we follow one woman’s journey as she searches for protection for herself and her children.

Many people view getting to the United States as the final hurdle in the migration journey, but we quickly learn that once in the U.S., the fight has just begun. During one of the most uncertain times in our country’s history, Seeking Asylum documents the challenges asylum seekers face and shows why asylum is an integral part of the American Dream that we cannot afford to lose.

WHEN: Wednesday September 27, 6:00 to 8:30pm
WHERE: Madison Christian Community, 7118 Old Sauk Road, Madison
COST: We are requesting donations of $25 per person, to be paid online or at the door. Members of the immigrant community are invited at no cost. Donations go to support the sponsoring organizations’ work for immigrant justice.
