The Refugee Orchestra Project has collaborated with members of Papel & Caneta, a nonprofit creative collective, to launch a collection of films that look to address misconceptions about refugees in order to show the value each person brings to society.

The film, 'Refugees Are Us', follows the stories of 15 refugees to America and their experiences of the country, juxtaposed against statements often attributed to refugees. The work was filmed over the course of a week in New York City.

The campaign films explores topics including the jobs refugees get, the hardship they have come from and discrimination they face in the countries they immigrate to.

The Project has also created posters highlighting some of the key misconceptions about refugees.
