About The Film
Walking For Ded is an award-winning meditation on the revival of the sanctuary movement in the United States in response to the anti-immigrant political agenda implemented by the Trump administration. It focuses on the case of Ded Rranxburgaj, an Albanian immigrant who has lived and worked in the U.S. for 17 years after being denied political asylum. Ded has been in sanctuary with his family at the Central United Methodist Church in Detroit since January 16, 2018. In May, members of the congregation led by Rev. Jill Zundel teamed up with other faith communities and Michigan United, a coalition that fights for immigrant rights, to organize a 90-mile pilgrimage to “Keep Families Together” from Detroit to the state capitol in Lansing, Michigan.
About the Participants
In addition to Ded and Flora Rranxburgaj, the film features Rev. Jill Zundel and Caitlin Homrich-Knieling, who organized the Pilgrimage to Keep Families Together, as well as Doug Fleury and Pete Gojcaj, whose families were torn apart by deportation.
