The Long Walk of Carlos Guerrero

Mass migration of people in search of better lives is one of the defining issues of our time. Whether fleeing war, gang violence, natural disasters, poverty, millions of people are on the move within countries, across borders, and across seas.

The numbers are so big and the headlines so mind-numbing that sometimes we lose sight of—and, hence, empathy for—the individual people who, for the most part, are simply seeking the kind of peace and opportunity that the rest of us take for granted.

Filmmaker (and Tällberg Foundation colleague) Joseph Mathew-Varghese set out to remedy this when he made “The Long Walk of Carlos Guerrero”. This full-length film is based on the real story of a migrant who left the safety of life in the United States and then struggled to return. You are invited to join us for a viewing (at your convenience during the next month) and a live, on-line conversation with Joseph and several migration experts.

To participate, get your free ticket to watch the film on-demand by November 4th and register here for the webinar to be held on Tuesday, November 5 @ 11:00 AM EST / 5:00 PM CET.
