Hollywood stars join Oxfam to draw attention to refugees
BOSTON — Minnie Driver, John Cho and Oliver Platt are among 15 Hollywood stars participating in a new Oxfam America program intended to motivate people to help refugees.
The “I Hear You” campaign launched Tuesday by the Boston-based charity features videos of the actors reading the firsthand stories of refugees aloud.
The refugees express their desires for normalcy, peace, a permanent home, an education and a job. They also talk about the stuff they miss, including neighborhood cookouts and trips to the hair salon, and articulate the grief they feel for long-lost friends and relatives.
