Schools

Free Screening of "Strangers No More"

Screening of the 2011 Oscar Award-winner for Best Documentary Short Subject will be followed with a discussion with a Pepperdine student who interned with the Bialik-Rogozin School. Strangers No More offers a glimpse into daily life at a school geared towards immigrants and refugees in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Bialik-Rogozin School teaches children from forty-eight different countries, many of whom have never gone to school before. The film follows several students’ struggle to acclimate to life in a new land while slowly opening up to share their stories of hardship and tragedy. As these students begin to grow in school, they come together to form a unified community after fleeing from lives of poverty, political adversity, even genocide.
