Sembène Film Festival: Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars
Tuesday, June 12 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Come to a screening of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars presented by Sembène – The Film & Art Festival. The film tells the uplifting story of a group of six Sierra Leonean musicians who came together to form a band while living as refugees in the Republic of Guinea. Despite the unimaginable horrors of civil war, they were saved through their music, where they found a place of refuge, a sense of purpose, and a source of power.
