BloomScreen Presents: SIERRA LEONE'S REFUGEE ALL-STARS (2005, 78 min.), Zach Niles and Banker White
Tuesday, September 21st // 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, an uplifting story of survival and hope, follows the story of the six-member band that came together in Guinea after civil war forced them from their native Sierra Leone. Traumatized by physical injuries and the brutal loss of family and community, they fight back with the only means they have — music.
