Film Screening and Discussion: The White Helmets
The 91自拍 Coalition on Inclusion will host a film screening and discussion of The White Helmets.
The White Helmets (2016) is an Oscar Award winning short documentary (41 min.) about a group of first responders who risk their lives to rescue victims of airstrikes on civilian targets during the still ongoing Syrian War. The documentary won the 2017 Oscar for Best Short Documentary.
After the film, the audience will hear from members of our community who experienced the war in Syria first hand, and those who have worked to help refugees from this war resettle here in Chicago. The post film discussion with Q&A will feature:
