Film Screening and Silent Auction

Since the start of the Iraq war in 2003, over 4,700,000 Iraqis have been displaced from their homes due to violence and economic instability. These individuals have endured numerous struggles including poor living conditions and limited access to health care which have devastated their livelihood. This film tells the story of Assyrian Iraqi refugees in Syria.

Please join us on Saturday, September 12 at the Assyrian American Association’s Adobe Hall for a film screening and silent auction benefiting the clinic featured in the documentary. We will have two very special prints and ten limited edition books, featuring photos from Syria telling the story of the Assyrian refugees.

7 pm screening and Q&A with filmmaker Anobel Odisho
8 pm cocktail hour
8:30 pm silent auction

Adobe Hall is located at 1352 Lincoln Avenue, San Jose, CA.

Dearest Anobel,

You have a done a wonderful job bringing the plight of our people to the forefront of the Assyrian nation. You have shown us what every Assyrian living in the west takes for granted. We must not forget our brothers who are ‘transient’ and must support and afford them the same opportunity our parents and families have had. God willing you will inspire others to do likewise and carry the torch of Assyrianism beyond what we currently know to be the only channels of service to our nation. I expect such efforts and even greater endeavors from you in the future. Continue to blaze the trail for the rest of us.

God Bless,
Raumin Benjamin
