Monsters to Destroy

General Admission $14

Monsters to Destroy is a multimedia talk by filmmaker and comedian Ben Tumin examining refugee resettlement in the United States. Through a series of humanizing—and often humorous—interviews, he introduces the audience to five young Syrian refugees living in Germany, as well as a retired marine working in human rights advocacy. Weaving together information about the refugee crisis, personal narrative, and pre-recorded interviews, Ben argues for expanded refugee resettlement on national security grounds.

Their struggles, hopes, and passionate advocacy come into even sharper focus as Ben recounts the story of his grandfather, a German-Jewish refugee who fled the Nazis just prior to World War II. Through this personal narrative, Ben connects Americans' responses to refugees today to those of the past.

Leading refugee advocacy organizations have described the presentation as moving and informative, noting that the humor "works surprisingly well," and declaring the performance to be a worthwhile, unique experience for anyone passionate about human rights.
