Lands of Promise: The Refugee Experience in Cinema

This series of films that touch on the experiences of refugees both here and abroad is presented in collaboration with the American Repertory Theatre. Taking its inspiration from Peter Sellars’s current A.R.T. production of Eurypides’ The Children of Herakles—a work that follows the plight of the legendary hero’s children as they are forced into exile following the death of their father—the series features films that explore a range of contemporary cultural and political experiences, both at borders and within the often less than secure confines of a nation.

Free admission with the presentation of a ticket or ticket stub from the A.R.T. production of The Children of Herakles.
