Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in NH

Tuesday, August 15 at 6 p.m.

The Immigrant/Refugee Experience

Join us for a documentary and discussion tackling the issues of belonging and citizenship.

"Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire" is a 30 minute documentary following the story of 5 refugees who were resettled in NH. Produced by the Center for the Humanities at the University of New Hampshire, the film explores what it means to be a refugee and how it feels to make a new life in a strange place. A Q&A session will immediately follow the film.

Guest speakers Tilak Niroula and Suraj Budathoki, recipients of the Union Leader’s 40 Under 40 Award, will share their experiences as Bhutanese refugees who now make their home in this state. They will be joined by Eva Castillo, 2017 MLK Award winner and executive director of NH Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees.
