shareThe St. Louis Immigration Project connects local filmmakers with members of the city’s immigrant and refugee communities to collaborate on a series of short films that celebrate resilience, identity, and belonging. Through this multi-film initiative, participants work together to ensure that stories of migration and adaptation are told from within the communities themselves—honoring personal experiences while highlighting the diverse voices that shape St. Louis today. By blending professional filmmaking guidance with authentic storytelling, the project creates space for immigrants and refugees to reclaim narrative agency and share what it truly means to build a new life here.
Following the film will be a conversation about the immigration situation in the US today.
