Justice

A very powerful song by the Killers touching multiple social issues.

Lyrics:

Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free
His mother Adeline's family came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free

Visit a center in El Paso that has welcomed hundreds of thousands of refugees and immigrants.

This film documents the work of Annunciation House and its guests. Join us as we watch volunteers struggling with their place of privilege in the house, while we see migrants preparing for the next leg of their journey deeper into America.

Where today would Jesus give his love and attention? For Ruben Garcia, the soft-spoken founder and director of the Annunciation House in El Paso, TX, the answer is obvious: to the poor, the frightened, and the persecuted. Decades ago he noticed the sad stream of poor migrants fleeing abysmal conditions in Mexico and coming to the US with nothing but hope.

Oh Mercy gives a face and a voice to these children, women, and men who have been compelled to leave their homes in North and Central America by forces beyond their control, but have yet to find hope in the promised land to the north to which they have traveled in search of safety and freedom.
