Description:

Join the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for a screening of “No Limits,” a short film about the unlikely friendship between two disabled athletes – one from the U.S. and the other from South Sudan – and their improbable journey from Washington D.C. to Juba in a bid to bring wheelchair basketball to the survivors of war. It’s a story about finding purpose and rediscovering home, and about the transformative power of sports to help heal old wounds and forge new dreams.

The screening will be followed by a discussion and audience Q&A with the film’s stars, Jess Markt and Malat Wei.

Admission is free. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be offered.
