Mountz Professor, Canada Research Chair in Global Migration
Join
Alison Mountz for a viewing of the film Safe
Haven. The film weaves together the powerful stories of two generations of
American war resisters who sought safe haven in Canada during both the Vietnam
and Iraq wars. The film is directed by Lisa Molomot and is based in Mountz’s research on the topic. In 2020, Mountz and Molomot began showing Safe Haven at film festivals across
North America, but their promotional plans were put on hold due to the COVID-19
pandemic. However, Safe Haven has been picked up by New Day Films, a
distribution collective founded by women filmmakers. Mountz will hold a Q &
A with the audience after the film screening.
