The Welcome Table

Double Exposure - 130 min
  • DIRECTOR: Josh Fox

Synopsis:

We are facing the largest migration in human history. Josh Fox goes to the frontlines of displacement - Paradise, CA, Boulder, CO, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, the Caribbean - and meets people faced with the impossible decision to flee their homes. The current global migration policy is based on borders, walls, incarceration, dehumanization and fear. What is possible, if instead, we welcome each other? In the final scene, like a great Shakespearean comedy, lovers unite at the table, elders share wisdom and predictions for our shared future. There is much struggle and strife, but we unite in celebration and sincere hope for a caring future amidst the painful reality of climate displacement. Music, food, and conversation overflow from the table. We celebrate the power of human connection, of mutual aid, of love. The table itself is a metaphor for what is possible if we open our physical and metaphysical borders to each other.
