Storytellers on the Frontlines of Change: The Refugee & Asylum Seeker Crisis presented by Amnesty International (Live from ATX Season 8)

As the crisis at the border continues, Amnesty International has been mobilizing and uniting people to welcome refugees and asylum seekers who are fleeing violence and persecution. Too often, these people are portrayed in politics and in the media as two-dimensional tropes -- victims or villains -- without a platform or access to tell their own stories. So what is the role of television in breaking down these harmful stereotypes? Tune in for a discussion with writers & advocates about how to restore agency to refugees and asylum seekers through inclusive representation, multi-faceted characters, and humanist narratives.

Panelists: Elisabeth R. Finch (Grey's Anatomy), Alexander Woo (The Terror: Infamy), Rafael Agustin (Jane the Virgin), Mike Royce (One Day at a Time)

Moderator: Ashley Houghton (Amnesty International)

Correction: The first ATX Season 8 podcast release from The Syndication Project was Better With Age: Growing Older on TV presented by Hollywood Health and Society.
