"Strangers in Town" - Film Discussion (ReadMHK Event)

Join us for a viewing and discussion of “Strangers in Town,” with Dr. Debra Bolton on Friday, October 14th at 5 pm in the Manhattan Public Library's Auditorium. The theme for ReadMHK this month is Immigrant Experiences. "Strangers in Town" is a 30-minute film created by directors Reuben Aaronson and Steve Lerner that tells the story of how global migration unexpectedly transformed and enriched Garden City, KS. Members of the community are invited to attend this free program made possible by Humanities Kansas.

"We believe that Garden City has something to add to the regional and national dialogue on immigration, which has become so polarized. Here is a town from southwest Kansas that has embraced immigration and diversity, creating policies and resources that have helped the community grow and thrive. Many from much larger communities that have never heard of Garden City might have something to learn from this Kansas town." - Reuben Aaronson and Steve Lerner
