Hello Murray

Lots to do in this small, friendly town

Saturday, September 28, 2019 📽️ Cinema International: Transit Camp Friedland

Starting at 7:30 PM at MSU Curris Center

Dir. Frauke Sandig
N.R., 85 mins.

Friedland is an idyllic town in Lower Saxony. Its claim to fame goes back to 1945 when the British military occupation administration established a camp for internally displaced persons and war returnees there. It has welcomed people ever since, from Hungary, Chile, Vietnam and the former East German GDR.

Today it is a reception camp for asylum seekers mainly from Syria, Eritrea, and Afghanistan. Documentarist Frauke Sandig lets former German inmates narrate their experiences of fleeing and of life in the immediate post-War era, and she confronts their memories with the experiences of today’s refugees. The result is a moving documentary of hardship, hope, and humanity.

Showings:

Thursday - MSU Curris Center Theater
Saturday - MSU Curris Center Theater
