Palm Springs Screening of 'Salam Neighbor'

Palm Springs, CA, January 4, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Inity Weekly will host the screening of ‘Salam Neighbor’, a film and campaign to connect the world to refugees. The screening will be held on Monday, February 1st at 6:30 p.m. at the Regal Palm Springs Stadium 9.

Seven miles from war, 85,000 Syrians struggle to restart their lives inside Jordan’s Za’atari refugee camp. Viewers will be immersed into the life of a Syrian refugee through the journey of Chris and Zach as the first filmmakers in history allowed to register and be given a tent inside of a refugee camp.

Inity Weekly is bringing its first event to the Palm Springs area with the film, 'Salam Neighbor'. The refugee crisis is a hot topic, and it's Inity Weekly's goal to raise awareness about the situation by utilizing the arts as the bridge to understanding.

From meeting Um Ali, a woman struggling to overcome personal loss and cultural barriers, to the street smart, 10-year-old Raouf, whose trauma hides just beneath his ever present smile, Zach and Chris uncover inspiring stories of individuals rallying, against all odds, to rebuild their lives and those of their neighbors.

Inity Weekly is calling on the desert communities to gather in the spirit of unity to face one of the direst humanitarian crises of our time. The goal is to place the human element at the forefront of the issues that revolve around refugees and immigrants. The screening will begin with a live poetry segment to introduce the film, and the question and answer portion following the screening will allow patrons to gain an understanding about the refugee crisis.
