[S6E3] Refugees in Disney's Encanto | Movie Review

Today we are reviewing the new Disney film Encanto through the lens of how it discusses refugee issues. If you've seen the movie, you know that the family Madrigal received their magic gifts after Abuela, the family matriarch, was displaced with her husband. We're talking about Abuela and Pedro as refugees, intergenerational trauma, the Madrigals as blessings not burdens, and our thoughts on the movie as well. The film is available to stream on Disney Plus. What did you think of the portrayal of refugees in Encanto? We want to hear from YOU!
