Boston Screening and Discussion: Not Who We Are

With no end to the bloodshed in Syria in sight, the number of registered Syrian refugees is estimated to surpass 3 million in September 2014. Lebanon alone, a country of about 4.8 million citizens, has received far more than a million Syrians fleeing from the onslaught of Bashar al-Assad or Islamist militant factions. Behind these figures of incomprehensive magnitude lays a mosaic of human destinies, stories and faces. Not Who We Are, a gripping documentary by Lebanese filmmaker Carol Mansour, follows five young Syrian refugee women in Lebanon to tell their story of hardship, identity and the value of community. The documentary was selected as Best Documentary at the Rated SR- Socially Relevant Film Festival in NY, 2014, and received the Jury's Special Mention at the Festivale Internationale du Film Orientale a Geneve (FIFOG), 2014.

The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, the Harvard School of Public Health, and the Heinrich Böll Foundation North America are pleased to host a screening of Not Who We Are followed by a discussion moderated by Kathleen Hamill, fellow at the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, Harvard School of Public Health.
