Gage, Beth Gage
Description:
In 2016, during the world’s largest refugee crisis
since WWII, the conservative state of Nebraska, welcomed more
refugees than any state in the U.S. They welcomed women and families
tortured by war; one Nebraskan worked 10 years to rescue the Afghan
interpreter who’d saved his company’s lives. In the next four
years, the Trump administration reduced the number of refugees from
Obama’s ceiling of 110,000 to an all-time low of 15,000. President
Biden has agreed to accept 125,000 in fiscal year 2022. A
Home Called Nebraska is the surprising and
emotional story of refugees enjoying mid-western welcome, unlikely
friendships and a re-vitalized American Dream.
