Filmmakers have tackled issues of displacement, discrimination, exploitation, and assimilation in movies like Mississippi Masala (about Indians in the Deep South), The Other Side of Hope (Syrians in Finland) and Dirty Pretty Things (West Africans in London). Film history expert Rick Winston shares clips from fifteen works that address one of the most pressing issues of our times.

Rick has taught film history at Burlington College, Community College of Vermont, Goddard College, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and has been a popular presenter at the Athenaeum and throughout the state.
