Join SOLAS in welcoming ¡Cine Magnífico! to the UNM campus on Friday, September 18th for two amazing films! American DREAMers Friday, September 18th, 10:30 am Documentary / 128 minutes UNM College of Fine Arts, Room 2018 "American DREAMers" tells the story behind the Campaign for an American DREAM (CAD), a group of six undocumented youth and an ally who risk their freedom when they publicly come out as undocumented and walk 3,000 miles to the nation's capital to organize for immigrant rights. These are college students, young professionals, activists, and community leaders. Follow their journey as they come out of the shadows, share their stories, empower communities, and put everything on the line to fight in what they believe is their civil rights movement. They are undocumented and unafraid. And some are UndocuQueer, too. Below is an interview with Jonatan Martinez, one of the immigrant activist shown in the documentary! Guatemala, el Espíritu de la Memoria Friday, September 18th, 12:30 pm Documentary / 65 minutes UNM College of Fine Arts, Room 2018 Guatemala, the Spirit of Memory is a story about justice, memory, and truth in Guatemala. Two members of the clergy, a Catholic and a Protestant, share their experience with indigenous communities attempting to prevent transnational companies from taking over their territories. They fight together to keep social movements from being threatened and criminalized. Films being shown at UNM are FREE and open to the public. For more information on these films, check out the flyer.
