The project “Last Days in Dilley: Visual Reflection for Community Driven Advocacy Against Refugee Detention” was supported by Humanity in Action as a grant competition project.
Through a combination of short documentary videos, community organizing and public presentations, Last Days in Dilley: Visual Reflection for Community Driven Advocacy Against Refugee Detention elevated attention and facilitated the creation of resource networks to confront the mass incarceration and deportation of Central American refugee families by the US Department of Homeland Security. A series of short films provided a starting point for formerly detained refugee families to speak out about the hidden deportation machine that has separated tens of thousands of families since 2012.
