Oscar-nominated documentarian Rebecca Cammisa will be speaking at Ridgewood Public Library on Oct. 12, after the opening reception of the annual Reel Film Festival, because, as she puts it, “Ridgewood asked.”
Oscar-nominated documentarian Rebecca Cammisa will speak and present her film, ‘Which Way Home,’ on Oct. 12.
“People who will come to see the film have probably not seen anything like this before,” said the director, whose film “Which Way Home” will be screened at 7:30 p.m. after an hour-long reception.
The film, about the harrowing journey child migrants make to cross the Mexican border into the United States, partly highlights the sense of desperation driving many people to leave home who would rather not, Cammisa said.
“There are a lot of people who feel compelled to come who don’t want to leave their county. They just want to survive,” she said.
