Where Can We Live in Peace? [Documentary Screening & Discussion]

Join the Michigan Friends Center for a screening of Where Can We Live in Peace?, an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Judy Jackson that follows Pastor Ignacio Ramirez and the ABBA migrant shelter he founded in Celaya, Mexico — a sanctuary where thousands of migrants fleeing gang violence, poverty, and climate catastrophe find rest, medical care, and human dignity. The film offers an intimate and deeply humanizing portrait of people on one of the world’s most dangerous journeys, and of the extraordinary compassion that meets them along the way.

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Hernán Drobny, an Ann Arbor Friends Meeting attender, physician, and board member of both the Latin American Relief Fund and ABBA Shelter, who brings decades of personal and professional connection to this community and its work. This event is part of Michigan Friends Center’s film series grounded in our values of peace, social justice, and human dignity, and is offered in a small-group format to encourage meaningful conversation.

This event is nonpartisan and is not intended as opposition to or support of any political candidate or party.

No admission charge. All are welcome. RSVP at mfcenter.org/event-details/where-can-we-live-in-peace-documentary-screening-discussion
