Refuge

A tale of healing and unlearning hate unfolds in this documentary set in Clarkston, Georgia, the most ethnically diverse square mile in America. After renouncing his membership in a white supremacist group, veteran and family man Chris Buckley still struggles with Islamophobia. When he receives a text from Hevel, a cardiologist and Kurdish refugee, seeking to quell rising negative rhetoric against his refugee resettlement community, Chris is set on a journey where he must meet with and learn from those he once used to hate. This screening will be followed by a community conversation led by City of Refuge exploring topics such as polarization, community building, and the importance of being open to different perspectives.

Please note that FREE tickets for the public will be available at the Ragtag Box Office starting Thursday, June 26 at 12PM. 

No more than four free tickets will be given to one person.

A free ticket guarantees you a seat until 10 minutes before showtime and not after. If all tickets have been distributed and there are open seats at 10 till, we will start seating the theater from the waiting list (queue). Ticket holders will continue to be admitted at this time if seats are available. This policy allows us to start on time and give the audience a distraction-free experience.
