FREE! Appreciating Diversity Film Series: "Paths of the Displaced"

One American teen. One video camera. One remarkable window into the Sudanese Civil War.

Paths of the Displaced tells three kinds of stories: the first are the stories of five Sudanese teenage refugees and the tremendous hardships they endured to survive war and genocide and escape to the U.S. The second are their stories of survival and adaptation…in Lincoln [Nebraska]. The third is the storyteller's tale, about [Natalia] Ledford herself, an Anglo-American woman and high school senior at the time the film began, who decided that the stories of her classmates were important enough that the world should know them. Each of these stories is compelling on its own; together they form an irresistible tapestry. “  ~ Hanna Day Woodruff, starcityblog.com
