We all have a great story. So share it!
We all love a good story. I have always enjoyed the power of people's stories, captured in the dynamics of movies. The ups and downs, highs and lows, the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the beauty in the routine of life, and the triumph of a hard fought battle. Be A Refuge tells the stories of refugees as they live out their new lives in a new land, their struggle and their pursuit of a better life. Additionally, stories of the lives that intersect with refugees' lives will be mentioned.
The people who seem so different from you or me have dreams, vision, business and personal goals, laughter, passion, and humanity. Refugees shouldn't be treated as distant strangers but our family. Could video convey their need and our need to act on their behalf? Could videos motivate a community to come together for the common good? Am I a dreamer? Or should our dreams become reality and reality be filled with a strong community of brothers and sisters who support one another through struggle as well as celebrate together the good times.
From our personal lives to our business lives, our stories matter to ourselves and to our communities. Video shares all of this. Video is personal.
Video is a great tool. This site is dedicated to sharing the stories of refugees, their families and the businesses and organizations that help them.
