Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart executive produced After Spring, which follows two Syrian refugee families in transition, as well as the aid workers fighting to keep the Jordan-based Zaatari Refugee Camp, the largest camp for Syrian refugees, running. With no end in sight for the conflict or the refugee crisis, everyone must decide if they can rebuild their lives in a place that was never meant to be permanent. It will be screened with the short film People of Nowhere by Lior Sperando, which documents the volunteers working to save Syrian immigrants trying to make it to the EU.
Speaker: Omar Salem, chairman of the Karam Foundation, which provides emergency aid to the people of Eastern Aleppo.
