To the refugees, Eastern Hungary is a cold and unwelcoming place; Asylum is rarely granted, and there are few opportunities for work.\u00a0 For most, the only way out of this legal limbo is through a thriving underground smuggling ring. Jon Nealon\u2019s cinema verit\u00e9 documentary chronicles the lives of Abed Al-Sahli a Palestinian refugee who acts as advocate and de facto translator for the camp\u2019s Arab population, and Charu Newhouse, an American volunteer. As both Abed and Charu struggle to make life better for the refugees caught in red tape and subject to the vagaries of international politics, their fates become connected. The film traces their unlikely love story from the hopelessness of the camp to a dramatic arrival in New York City where they come to start a new life, together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">For more information about the film series and other human rights events at UConn, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.humanrights.uconn.edu\/\">http:\/\/www.humanrights.uconn.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UConn wil\u00a0be kicking off\u00a0its annual Human Rights Film series next week!\u00a0 The first film is Goodbye, Hungaria, directed by Jon Nealon, which will be shown\u00a0on\u00a0Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 6 PM in Konover Auditorium\u00a0at the Thomas J.
