SUMMARY:WRJI Movie Night: “Mo Amer\, The Vagabond”
DESCRIPTION:Join WRJI for a viewing and discussion of Mo Amer’s comedy special “The Vagabond”.  In this performance Amer talks about his experiences as a Palestinian refugee who was born in Kuwait\, fled with his mother and siblings at the age of nine during the Gulf War\, and ended up in Houston Texas.

He has appeared on television and radio\, including NPR\, BBC\, and CNN\, and has been interviewed by major media outlets like The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, and The Guardian. \nWe’ll watch the film together; followed by a discussion – facilitated by Tyree Oredein ’98 and Natasha Chang ’93. \nYou can view the trailer here: https://youtu.be/XqpR_ZhAwAQ?feature=shared \nRegistration is required.
