City of Refuge: A Success Story of Refugee Resettlement

Depicts the successful resettlement of Laotian refugees in Pella, Iowa, and examines the unique relationship between people of Southeast Asia and the United States. This award-winning program looks at one family's suffering as Laos falls to communism. The story reaches back to the origins of the Hmong people in Southeast Asia, with congressman Jim Leach of Iowa pointing out their unique relationship to the United States and their determination to start a new life. The family makes a successful transition to this very different Iowa community . . . playing, working and worshiping with the citizens of this city of immigrants. The family's determination to start a new life envelops this success story of the positive rewards of refugees and refugee sponsorship. Symbolic references to Pella, Iowa (founded by the Dutch immigrants in the 1800's) remind us how the United States is a nation of immigrants; thus, Pella's experience is relevant to us all. Audiences of City of refuge are inevitably provoked into thought and discussion.
