From the epicenter of today’s global migration debates, FROM HERE (previously entitled With Wings and Roots) is a documentary film that follows four young people who represent the future of global citizenry.
Filmed over a decade in two of the world’s largest immigration countries–the U.S. and Germany–From Here captures an international generation’s fight for belonging in an era of rising nationalism. 90 min.
With Wings and Roots is an initiative of media makers, activists, scholars, educators and cultural organizers working in the US and Europe. We collaborate to reframe the migration and integration debates through storytelling, critical histories, and creative interventions.
Invitation to the film screening and discussion! 🎬 We’re showing the short film ‘The Right to Have Rights,’ which reflects on the meaning of citizenship and the lives of 12 million people without German passports in Germany. Let’s talk together about how we can advocate for a more just society. Afterwards, there will be a public discussion with the experts Georgina Domenica, Muyisa {Nkozi} Muhindo, and Jasar Dzemailovski. An important evening to learn from each other and be strong together! 💪
