  • Details
Ziad H. Hamzeh's gripping documentary chronicles the attempt by the mayor of Lewiston, Maine, to deter Somali refugees from moving to his city. Mayor Larry Raymond sent a letter to the 1,100 newly arrived immigrants informing them that his town didn't have the resources to handle their permanent residence. His actions activated anti-racism groups, served as a national rally cry for white supremacists and spawned large demonstrations.
