| + | 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 | ||
