Date: Friday, December 6th
Time: 5:30 pm – 8 pm
FREEJoin us for a special screening of the heartwarming award-winning documentary All We Carry, by director Cady Voge at Fauntleroy Church in West Seattle. This event is co-hosted by the Fauntleroy Church and Hazelwood Preschool and is free to everyone. At the event there will also be an option to donate. All donations will be split equally between Fauntleroy Church’s Immigration Task Force and the documentary film team’s ongoing efforts to hold community screenings and raise awareness nationwide. The film is bilingual and has both Spanish and English subtitles, everyone is welcome. There will be light refreshments available for sale; the proceeds will also go to the fundraiser.
All We Carry follows one local family’s extraordinary journey as they flee persecution in Honduras and endure months in US detention. Upon release, they are sponsored by a synagogue in West Seattle and move into a borrowed home, all while they await their asylum verdict. Over three years, the family navigates countless life-altering and every-day moments where memory, joy, and grief collide.
