SUMMARY:Unsettled Seeking Refuge in America
DESCRIPTION:\nUnsettled Seeking Refuge In America\n\n\n \n\n\nDirected by 
 TOM SHEPARD\n\n\n \n\n\nOn February 27th at 7pm at Landmark's E Street Ci
 nema\n\n\n \n\n\nDocumentary\n\n\n84 MINS\n\n\n \n\n\nUNSETTLED is a fea
 ture-length documentary revealing the untold stories of LGBT refugees and 
 asylum seekers who have fled intense persecution from their home countries
  and who are resettling in the United States. As new leadership in America
  continues to demonize immigrants and drastically restrict the flow of ref
 ugees and asylum seekers into the U.S.\, UNSETTLED humanizes a group few p
 eople know who are desperately trying to create new and safer homes.\n\n\n
  \n\n\nSubhi\, a gay Syrian refugee\, who\, having survived multiple deat
 h threats from Islamic terrorists\, beatings by a homophobic father\, and 
 a nation devastated by war\, finds his voice as a leader for refugee right
 s in the U.S. Cheyenne and Mari\, a lesbian couple from Angola\, who\, hav
 ing faced brutal harassment from family and neighbors\, seek uncertain asy
 lum through the American immigration courts while pursuing their dreams of
  becoming musicians. Junior\, a gender non-conforming gay man from the Con
 go\, struggles to find even basic housing and livelihood while exploring a
  more fluid gender identity.\n\n\n \n\n\nUNSETTLED takes place largely in
  the San Francisco Bay Area\, historically a beacon for dislocated LGBT pe
 ople in the U.S. While cultural narratives of a “queer promised land” 
 still persist\, the film asks whether Northern California is even practica
 l as a place to resettle LGBT refugees\, especially given the enormous gen
 trification\, increased costs of living\, and scarcity of housing in recen
 t years—a set of problems present in many American cities. What are the 
 costs persecuted immigrants pay for seeking refuge in America? And how are
  everyday Americans stepping forward to help those most in need?\n\n\n \n
