Activities begin with the film “The Stranger” on Sept. 17 at 5:30 p.m. in Christenberry Planetarium. The documentary focuses on the immigration issue from a Christian perspective.

A second documentary, “Which Way Home,” will be shown Sept. 23 at 5:30 p.m. in Christenberry Planetarium. The film tracks the experiences of three Central American children who migrate through Mexico trying to reach the United States.
