SUMMARY:Someone Like Me at Douglas College in New Westminster
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate World Refugee Day\, DOC Northwest and the New West
  Film Society present this free special event featuring a screening of Som
 eone Like Me\, by Vancouver filmmakers Sean Horlor &amp\; Steve J. Adams
 .\n\nSomeone Like Me | Directors: Sean Horlor &amp\; Steve J. Adams | 20
 21 | 1 h 19\n\nDrake\, a young gay man from Uganda\, leaves behind everyth
 ing he knows to attain the universal freedoms everyone deserves: to be who
  he is and love whomever he chooses without fear of discrimination\, perse
 cution\, or violence. A group of queer strangers unite to resettle Drake i
 n Vancouver\, but they are tasked with a year-long commitment to someone t
 hey’ve never met\, and struggle with the challenging conditions of this 
 support. Together\, Drake and his sponsors embark on an emotional journey 
 in search of personal freedom\, revealing how in a world where one must co
 nstantly fight for the right to exist\, survival itself becomes a victory.
 \n\nPanel discussion to follow\, moderated by Kandyse McClure of the New W
 est Film Society\, and featuring a local refugee and\, possibly\, the film
 makers (still TBC)\n\n_______\n\nTrailer: Someone Like Me - NFB\n\n&nbsp\;
