Presented with the Latin American Studies Initiative at Creighton University, this one-time, free screening will be followed by a panel discussion.

After a body is discovered in the Arizona Desert to be an immigrant, only identified by a tattoo reading “Dayani Cristal,” director Mark Silver and Gael Garcia Bernal embark on a mission to accompany and document migrant travelers making their trek into the United States. Along the way, the duo reveals the rarely seen human side that is commonly left out of immigration debate.

Following the screening will be a panel discussion with The Latin American Studies Initiative at Creighton University, represented by moderator Scott Eastman, along with panelists Dr. Jackie Font-Guzmán of the Werner Institute and Emiliano Lerda, Executive Director of Justice for Our Neighbors.

This event is part of a month-long, Spanish Film Club series of films coupled with discussions about current issues from the Latin American Studies Initiative at Creighton University. All other screenings will be held on the Creighton campus. The Spanish Film Club series was made possible with the support of Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.
