The Refugee

1:00pm - The Refugee

Drama, 1:41m

Directed by Johnny Greenlaw

Director Johnny Greenlaw gives us a compelling heartrending story of Eva, a young girl in Iraq. She and her family desire a life different than the one she knows, one filled with the freedoms that we Americans enjoy. As her entire family is murdered, American troops come to fight and rescue them, but they are too late. One brave soldier saves her, giving her the cross from his neck, inscribed with his initials. Years later, as an adult now living in the U.S., living with her hardworking uncle, Eva feels the need to locate the man who saved her life. A lovely film, exploring the idea of the American Dream.
