at the Sobey School of Business, Scotiabank Theatre. The film will screen on Tuesday 13 February at 6:30 p.m. Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It will have its North American premiere this week with two screenings: 'Science in Exile' (37 minutes 2017) was produced with a generous contribution from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. They did it because they trusted me and because they thought that this film could be useful to support other scientists like them.'

'I established with them a very personal relationship. We became friends and they opened to me the doors of their lives – their thoughts, fears and hopes. 'I spent a long time looking for the right protagonists for the film,' Leghissa said. 'Science in Exile' shows why the global scientific community must support them until they can return home in a time of peace.' 'These scientists are so important to the development of their home countries, and when they are forced to flee, this is deeply damaging. Interested in screening “Science in Exile”? Please contact from developing countries are the fundamental focus of The World Academy of Sciences,' said TWAS Executive Director Romain Murenzi. It also features organisations in the Middle East, Europe and globally who are working to support scientists displaced by conflict. It takes viewers into the lives of scientists and social scientists with years of training and experience who are struggling to find a place in new lands-a safe place where they can continue their research. ' Science in Exile' is story of science, but also a deeply human story. The film explores how recent conflict in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq has threatened the lives of four researchers – two women and two men – forcing them to suspend their work and flee their homelands. These scientists are the focus of 'Science in Exile', a new documentary directed by Italian filmmaker Nicole Leghissa and produced by The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), based in Trieste, Italy. And the thousands of scientists who remain – what should they do? where should they go? Working in a wide range of fields, they are pursuing discoveries and innovations that will improve life for the people in their countries and their regions. They are scientists in developing countries, committed to a life of research.
