On Thursday, September 26, all are invited to the Warch Cinema to immerse themselves in the lives of “illegals” through the film The Unafraid (screening begins at 4:30) and the virtual reality experience Los Sueños de Anita (running from 3 to 4:15 and 7 to 8 p.m.).
Los Sueños de Anita is a virtual reality experience that immerses viewers into the life of two undocumented parents as they raise their young daughter Anita and face struggles much too familiar to the community.
The Unafraid – Follow the personal lives of three DACA students in Georgia, as they take on activism in a state that has banned them from attending their top state universities and disqualifies them from receiving in-state tuition at any other public college. The screening starts at 4:30 with a Community Conversation and short survey afterward, and viewing the virtual reality piece will be available again until 8 p.m.
Brought to you by the LU Film Studies Program, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, the Diversity and Intercultural Center, the Appleton Dignity & Respect Campaign, and ESTHER.
Both are free and open to the public.
