==Film show 'De nadie/Nobody', Thursday 5th February, 7 pm, UEA  Arts 01.02==
 +
2006 Sundance winning documentary by Tim Dirdamal, Mexico, 2005.
 +
 +
A powerful film that puts a face on immigration & makes us view it in a
 +
different way.
 +
The impoverished Central Americans who leave their countries in hopes of a
 +
better life in the United States have a rough road ahead of them. 'De Nadie'
 +
shows how, during their perilous 2,500-mile journey through Mexico, they
 +
put their money, dignity, health and life on the line.While the
 +
anti-immigration movement in the United States focuses on preventing
 +
Mexican migration to America, limited attention is paid to the thousands
 +
of Central Americans who first have to cross Mexico before attempting to
 +
enter the United States. This documentary seeks to fill that gap.
 +
 +
The film is in Spanish with English subtitles & will be followed by
 +
discussion.
 +
Entrance is free & all are welcome

'spect-actors' by actively taking control of their lives.
