Film Showing: “La Americana” A film by Nicholas Bruckman

La Americana is an intimate documentary following an undocumented
immigrant’s journey from Bolivia to New York City and back, as she
struggles to save the life of her ailing daughter. Her story is
woven into the current immigration debate in the United States,
putting a human face on this timely and controversial issue. La
Americana is the story of millions of immigrants forced to leave
their families behind in order to provide them a better life. It is
the story of a continent divided not by values, but by a physical and
political barrier, that separates families indefinitely, sometimes forever.

Come participate in a discussion of the film and the struggle for
immigrant’s rights today. The director will be present and will be
available for questions and comments from the audience.
