The short film MATAGI MĀLOHI : STRONG WINDS will play before the feature.

Nebraska has resettled more refugees per capita than any other state in the nation. In 2016, during the world’s largest refugee crisis since WWII, President Obama invited 110,000 refugees into the United States. That year, conservative, red state, Nebraska resettled more refugees per capita than any state. Now it’s 2020: the refugee crisis is bigger than ever and Trump’s refugee ceiling is 18,000. In a time of emboldened bigotry, with America’s Refugee Resettlement Program hanging by a thread, A HOME CALLED NEBRASKA spotlights families escaping war, persecution, and years of vetting being welcomed by big-hearted Nebraskans. Now these refugees from all over the world are succeeding and giving back to the Nebraska communities that welcomed them. This film has been generously sponsored by Anne Eliot MacFarlane and Tom MacFarlane; by Native Nebraskan, Shelle Carrig; and by Leah and Wynn Williams. Director BioBeth Gage and George Gage, as Gage &amp; Gage Productions, co-produce and co-direct compelling personal films that inspire viewers, initiate dialogue and prompt action on provocative issues. Concentrating on the environment, human rights and social justice, they produce films on subjects underrepresented in the current media.&nbsp;Beth creates the story; George is the films’ cinematographer. Their films have won dozens of awards at national and international film festivals and have been highly acclaimed by film reviewers. Their films have been distributed theatrically, on television, educationally, for DVD and consumer streaming.

MATAGI MĀLOHI : STRONG WINDS ﻿The Pacific Climate Warriors, born out of the low-lying Pacific Islands, are an indigenous and youth-led movement that have been on the front lines of climate change for decades—their rally cry is “we are not drowning, we are fighting.” In their own words "Matagi Mālohi tells the story of our journey to uplift our people and shape a narrative that paints us not as victims of the climate crisis but as the leaders, the healers, the nurturers, the artists, the gardeners, the growers, the seafarers and the navigators we are."

A HOME CALLED NEBRASKA

In 2016, during the world’s largest refugee crisis since WWII, conservative, midwestern Nebraska resettled more refugees per capita than any other state. With America’s refugee resettlement program hanging by a thread, A HOME CALLED NEBRASKA celebrates midwestern hospitality and unlikely friendships in a time of national anxiety and emboldened bigotry.
