Rivergate Foundation · 2026
Documentary
A 38-minute documentary following three families through the first year after resettlement in Dallas.
Filmed over fourteen months with the same three families, this was less a production than a standing invitation to dinner. The film premiered at a regional festival and now anchors Rivergate's donor program, but the version that mattered most was the private screening we held for the families first.
