Immigration, Christianity, and Refugees: The Story of One Million Neighbors
Melissa Borja, associate professor and creator/host of One Million Neighbors, narrates a probe into refugee resettlement and faith-driven civic action. She contrasts a 2026 ICE crackdown in the Twin Cities with the 1970s Midwest movement that welcomed over a million Southeast Asian refugees. Short scenes explore raids, community trauma, religious mobilization, and what radical hospitality once looked like.
