Service & Justice Event: 4.1 Miles Screening
in Welcome Center during Community Period
Documentary, Discussion, and Reflection
Follow local coast guard officers stationed off the Greek island
of Lesbos, where thousands of migrants have braved the
Mediterranean to flee conflicts at home. The coast guard finds
itself overwhelmed by the task of saving hundreds from drowning
at sea. Docks previously lined with restaurants have become
makeshift first-response centers. As one migrant’s body is
carried out, an onlooker desperately yells, “The world needs to
know what’s happening here! We can’t be going through this
alone!” This movie contains difficult scenes for some
viewers.*
We will review the area’s history and geography to add context to
the documentary. A group discussion and an Examen will follow.
