“Breathe Free,” the Columbus Crossing Borders documentary, is a powerful and beautiful film that spotlights the stories of refugees and the art exhibit that has been inspired by those stories. Through the lens of filmmaker Doug Swift, we meet several courageous people who have fled war, terror, and devastation. We are introduced to the dedicated souls who offer them comfort, support, and advocacy despite the backlash of unease and restless fear surrounding U.S. border issues. And we ultimately learn how 34 artists came to create a humanitarian project based on the timeless plight of forced migration.
