X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>This short animation tells the story of Sa
 oussan\, a young girl struggling to adjust to life in Canada after being u
 prooted from her war-torn homeland. She has come to seek a quieter and saf
 er life\, although memories of war and death linger\, memories that are aw
 akened when the children at her new school prepare for a scary Halloween.&
 nbsp\;From Far Away&nbsp\;speaks to the power within us all to adapt like 
 Saoussan and to welcome a newcomer.</p>\n<p><strong>Waterloo Region Migrat
 ion Film Festival</strong></p>\n<p>Each year the <a href="https://www.immi
 grationwaterlooregion.ca/en/immigration-partnership.aspx">Immigration Part
 nership</a> and its member organizations come together to share film in th
 e&nbsp\;Waterloo Region Migration Film Festival. The goal of this festival
  is to capture the promise and challenges of migration\, celebrate the con
 tributions that migrants make to their new communities\, and to help our c
 ommunity better understand the challenges our newcomer neighbors overcome 
 as they make our region our home.</p>\n<p>This year\, the festival will ta
 ke place in late summer. Our goal is to foster open discussions and promot
 e a sense of belonging and community through respectful dialogues. Storyte
 lling is a powerful tool for addressing social issues\, and the Waterloo R
 egion Migration Film Festival serves as an educational platform to influen
 ce perceptions and advocate for basic human rights.</p>\n<p><strong>About 
 the Immigration Partnership</strong></p>\n<p>Immigration Partnership is a

 dary organizations and Waterloo Region residents working together. We work

 ing a thriving\, prosperous community for everyone.</p>\nhttps://ideaexcha
