Katy Vine’s ‘Lost and Present’ is a thoughtful and uplifting look into a refugee community in the heart of Texas at the same time when political sentiment surrounding refugees and immigration turned increasingly unfavorable.

Texas is well known nationwide for accepting a high proportion of refugees approximately Lost and Present admitted to the United States. Though most end up in Houston, small city of Amarillo has become a harbor for brand-new immigrants seeking to begin anew.

‘Lost and Present’ is a snapshot as life being a refugee, honing in about a few family members, each using their own struggles and obstacles, their own dreams and hopes for the future, and the normal thread of a helping hand in Evelyn.
