Soufra

On Wednesday December 2nd the Boulder Palestine Film Festival will screen Soufra, a heartwarming documentary film about the struggle of eight women living in a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon. The film was produced by the award winning actress, Susan Sarandon. It shows what life in a refugee camp is like, and it demonstrates how eight women living in the camp can empower themselves, overcome bureaucratic obstacles, and succeed with their remarkable efforts. Although the film is free, it requires an RSVP. See the Event Website page above. And if that weren’t enough, following the film we will have Suzann Mollner, the Executive Director of Beirut and Beyond, a Denver-based nonprofit that works with people in Lebanese refugee camps. She will lead a discussion about her organization and about Lebanon.
