Covenantal Relations Committee Movie Night on March 6th

potluck dinner at 6:00 pm and “The Visitor” at 7:00pm

and discussion to follow!

The Visitor offers a unique glimpse into the U.S. immigration detention system and the people it affects. The stories in this film will prompt you to think more critically about the choices our government makes and how you can act to ensure it lives up to American ideals of fairness and justice. In the movie, an older white college professor returns to his NYC apartment only to find it occupied by an immigrant couple. His humanity allows him to permit the couple to stay and the three gradually become close. The man jumps a subway turnstile, is arrested, and becomes ensnared in the immigration system.
