The Lion’s Journey: The Story of Wadie P. Deddeh
Directed by Bonni Rooney, 2009, 60 minutes, USA

An intimate portrait of an iconic leader in the Chaldean Iraqi community of San Diego, this film tells the saga of former California Senator Wadie Deddeh, an Iraqi immigrant, as he travels the road from a child of poverty to a seat in the California State Assembly. This film focuses on the essence of Deddeh’s success as a man who worked across the aisle to bring about some of the most far-reaching transportation legislation during his time, while illuminating his grace as a father and dynamic member of his community.

Post screening questions and answers with filmmaker and Senator Deddeh.
