SNEAK PEEK PREVIEW
Nebraska is known largely for its corn production, sprawling farmlands and Midwestern values. But here’s a little-touted fact about the state: it resettled the most refugees per capita in 2016, welcoming a rush that included Syrians fleeing ISIS, Afghani interpreters who saved American lives, Iraqi families and more. As one refugee says: “America is the land of immigrants, and Omaha is the land of welcoming immigrants.” This preview of a film in progress by Telluride filmmakers Beth and George Gage offers a glimpse into a story of hope, struggle, hospitality and new beginnings.
