al'ikens Plancher's residency concludes with a public staged reading of pivotal scenes from the newly revised draft of Boat People, performed by local actors. It explores the forgotten history of Haitian refugees detained at Guantanamo Bay in the 1990s. The reading will run about 20-25 minutes and be followed by a moderated discussion that links the film’s historical events to current debates on migration, belonging, and civic responsibility.
