Film Screening: "Songs that Never End" by Dr. Yehuda Sharim from the University of California

The film is about the Dayan family, who fled their home in Iran to the United States, only to be greeted in Houston with hurricanes and perilous politics. In particular, the film accompanies the nine-year-old Hana in her struggles to be heard, questioning the immigrant realities in the USA, while longing for songs about a kind world.

This event is hosted by the Erasmus+ "MigraMedia" Project. It is free and open to the public.
