and political rhetoric to tell deeply personal stories, putting a human face on

arriving in America and struggling to find their footing. Displaced from their
homes and separated from loved ones, they are given eight months of assistance
from the International Rescue Committee in Baltimore to become self-sufficient.
As they learn to adapt to challenges, including the newly imposed travel ban,
their strength and resilience are tested. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/2019292108389490/.
