Please join HIAS Young Leaders DC on the evening of Sunday, April 22nd for a film screening and potluck dinner at a private home in Columbia Heights. We will be watching "Hawo's Dinner Party: The New Face of Southern Hospitality," which follows the trajectory of Hawo Siyad, a refugee and former nurse from Somalia, who has come to work at the Tyson Foods chicken processing plant in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Dressed in colorful hijab even on the assembly line, Hawo is determined to learn English and to connect with her neighbors. But as news of "home grown terrorism" appears in national media and as Hawo tries to reach out, we get an intimate glimpse into the honest - and often uncomfortable - encounters that emerge.

Limited space available - please RSVP no later than Thursday, April 19th. You will receive an email closer to the event with details about exact time and location.
