MYgration Films:
The rest of us have two opportunities to see these films on a large screen and vote for our favorite film. Stories will range from illegal border crossings in the dessert to growing up in the USA with little knowledge of their heritage, but eventually finding a connection to their heritage and a place to call home in Central Florida.
Premiere Showing will be Sunday, September 22 at 5pm. Those particular tickets also allow entrance to all the activities that day at the Global Peace Film Festival. and allow ticket holders to vote for the Audience Choice Award.
The second screening and awards will be held on Sunday, September 29 at the Premiere Cinema in the Fashion Square Mall. There the filmmakers will be awarded over $1,000 in prizes and you can meet the filmmakers and their stars.
