Shortly after 9/11, a young woman accepts a job as a cultural skills specialist in her hometown in Maine, where a sudden influx of Somali refugees roils her community. At the same time, she defends herself in court against a local resident who assaulted her. Trapped between two trials, often unsure what to say to family, neighbors, the judge, and the New York Times, Cheryl Hamilton turns her life experiences into an unflinching, unforgettable one-woman show directed by James Bunzli. Young Somali hip-hop artists and Patterson High School students, the Shambara Boyz celebrate World Refugee Day with a live preview of their first CD! Q&A follows.
