Location: JCC East Bay, Berkeley Branch

Co-presented by the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life and Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay
Fee: $8 (Presale, Senior, Student, Member); $12 (At the Door)
You have one hour to gather your most helpful belongings and leave your home. What do you take with you? What do you leave behind? What objects do you prize most in the course of your escape and once you are resettled? This multimedia documentary -- including film, photography, and first-person accounts -- tells the stories of objects curated by refugees who eventually resettled in the Bay Area. Following the screening, the refugees will discuss with the audience what objects have to tell us about the meaning of home, when, in the words of poet Warsaw Shire, "home is the mouth of a shark."
The panel discussion will be moderated by Citizen Film's Sam Ball and will include Ugandan refugee Zander Berkeley Liberty and other refugees; Amy Weiss, Director of Refugee & Immigrant Services at Jewish Family and Community Services of the East Bay; and Francesco Spagnolo, Curator of UC Berkeley's Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life.
