With filmmaker and comedian, Ben Tumin.
Monsters to Destroy is a multimedia presentation examining refugee resettlement in the United States. Mixing information about the refugee crisis with clips from interviews conducted with Scott Cooper, a retired marine working in human rights advocacy, and five young Syrians living in Germany, Ben argues in favor of welcoming refugees through the lens of national security. Adding anecdotes about his grandfather—himself a longtime Vineyard resident, and once a German-Jewish refugee—Ben connects Americans' responses to refugees today to those of the past and looks at how we might be able to break a historical cycle of vilifying them.
