Immigrant Communities Welcomed at Oct. 12 Event

Wicked Local Cambridge, October 1, 2019

The City of Cambridge’s Commission on Immigrant Rights and Citizenship will host its second Immigrant Communities Welcome event 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 12 at the Cambridge Public Library Lecture Hall and Community Room, 449 Broadway.

The welcome event will feature three films from the documentary series New Immigrant and Refugee Visions, providing unique insider perspectives of these immigrants’ integration challenges and the contributions they make to our culture, economy and social fabric in Massachusetts. The filmmakers and their subjects will engage with the audience about their experiences as immigrants and with immigration to the U.S.

A light lunch including foods from various cultural traditions will be shared.

View excerpts from all the films.

Organize a Screening of the New Immigrant and Refugee Vision films in your community.

Callaghan believes that independent creators like him will gradually replace the traditional pillars of journalism, “just because there’s so much distrust in media as it is … left and right.” Until then, Callaghan, Mosher, and Gilbert-Katz will have the opportunity to further shape the coming generations of journalists and social media reportage.

“I pretty much create news content for the disengaged,” he said. “That’s the achievement.”
