Suitcase Stories® programming features foreign- and US-born residents sharing powerful and inspiring stories of refugee and immigrant life. Featured nationally on PBS, the Suitcase Stories® series provides a way to dig beneath the headlines, exposing audiences to the complexity of migration. Storytellers are all local to New England, including the greater Manchester area.
Suitcase Stories® programming is co-presented by the International Institute of New England (IINE) and Stellar Story Company. Suitcase Stories® is a registered trademark of IINE.
