Join Rev. Deborah Lee, Co-Executive Director of the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity, and Petaluma filmmaker Lina Hoshino for an evening of film, conversation, and community dialogue exploring displacement, immigrant justice, and what genuine security can look like.

The evening begins with a screening of selected excerpts from the award-winning 2011 documentary Living Along the Fenceline, a film created in collaboration with Rev. Lee and Hoshino that examines the human impact of militarized borders and the communities living alongside them. Following the screening, the filmmakers will reflect on the film’s enduring relevance and invite audience members into a thoughtful conversation and Q&A.

Together, we’ll explore how communities can respond to displacement with compassion, strengthen connections across differences, and imagine new possibilities for belonging and collective care.
