Join the Office of Compliance and Diversity for a screening of a new film on undocumented rights and activism from Director Marlene ‘Mo’ Morris and Galewood Films, in association with Latino Public Broadcasting Voces. When the Trump administration abruptly threatens to deport 700,000 fellow Dreamers - the charismatic attorney and DACA recipient Luis Cortes Romero fights back, co-piloting an A-Team of lawyers who takes their case all the way to the Supreme Court, making the Luis the first undocumented immigrant to argue before the nation’s highest court. Set for release amidst this volatile election year and ongoing DACA threats, From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Allá) is a timely documentary that highlights the urgent need for compassionate immigration reform.
Post-film Q&A with Producer Nicole Solis-Sison and IMMI Program Coordinator Carla Cordova to unpack the film. Refreshments to be served.
