A Refugee Lives to Survive by Cynthia L. (Cindy) Cooper

A Congolese refugee manages to make it to South Africa, thousands of miles away, where she uses hope as a thin ladder, despite living through genocidal violence and rape. Based on a true story.

For one woman, 8-10 minutes.

    “ A heartbreaking monologue on an African refugee about surviving on charity that forces us to think is that enough. How do we address injustice and systemic violence to improve the lives of the most unfortunate?
    This should be included in any festival on refugees and undocumented immigrants. ”
