In honor of World Refugee Day, Alicia Keys’ cultural movement, We Are Here, debuts the short film “Let Me In.”
Written and directed by Jonathan Olinger from Human and starring Keys, “Let Me In” is a powerful piece on the struggles of a refugee, reimagining the crisis as if it were to happen in the United States.
Keys and her organization teams up with CARE, Oxfam and War Child on a campaign to raise awareness and spark the conversation around the refugee crisis currently affecting millions around the world.
“Creating this film really allowed us to imagine, what if we were the refugees? What if we were the ones torn from the arms of our families and loved ones? How would it feel if this were happening to us,” Keys said on the film.
You can get involved with the movement and pledge your support by visiting www.wearehere.com/letmein to make a contribution that will go towards items benefitting refugees around the world or, text LET ME IN to the number 80077 to join We Are Here.
The film features a new song, “Hallelujah,” which can be streamed on many streaming services like Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music.
