FRISCO \u2014 People interested in immigrant justice can see five documentary films next week. Hosted by Working Films and Mountain Dreamers<\/a>, a local immigrant rights organization that raises money for a legal defense fund, the Stories Beyond Borders<\/a> event showcases real tales about immigrant families and communities in America.<\/p>\n

For instance, the film \u201cNot a Citizen\u201d tells the story of 28-year-old Maine resident Abdi Ali who might be deported to Somalia while \u201cThe Legacy of the Zero Tolerance Policy\u201d is about a 6-year-old Guatemalan girl being separated from her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummit County\u2019s diverse immigrant workforce is a crucial part of our local and regional economy, and their families and children are a vital and positive part of our community life,\u201d Mountain Dreamers Executive Director Peter Bakken said in a news release. \u201cUnfortunately, we are not immune here in the mountains to the toxic atmosphere that surrounds this issue. Nor are we immune to the federal government\u2019s anti-immigrant enforcement practices. \u2026 An 18-year-old acquaintance of mine, a Summit High grad who had lived in our community from the age of 11, was detained by ICE at his mom\u2019s house in Breckenridge and deported.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both screenings \u2014 one Tuesday, Oct. 22, and the second Wednesday, Oct. 23 \u2014 begin at 6:30 p.m. and will include a community discussion led by Mountain Dreamers. Doors open at 5:30 for a social hour, refreshments and a cash bar. <\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s screening is at The Silverthorne Pavilion, 400 Blue River Parkway, Silverthorne. Wednesday\u2019s event is at Colorado Mountain College
107 Denison Placer Road, Breckenridge.<\/p>\n

Tickets are free, but there is a $15 suggested donation. Visit mountaindreamers.org<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
