To commemorate International Women’s Day, the Communication Department is going to host a documentary film screening, the Neighborhood Storyteller, on March 6, 2024, at 4:00 PM in Cathedral of Learning 1414. Discussions follow the documentary film screening.

Asmaa, forced out of her home country of Syria by war, rebuilt her new identity as the neighborhood storyteller at the Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan. She used reading aloud to empower teenager girls to turn hardships into an opportunity for self-growth. It is a story of courage, human resilience, and transition from girl to womanhood.

The documentary is directed by Alejandra Alcala and has won numerous awards at international film festivals.
