Hispanic Heritage Month: Film Screening of Sanctuary (2019)

Join us for a screening of the film Sanctuary (2019), a documentary,  as well as a post-screening conversation with filmmaker Andrea Cordoba.

Sanctuary documentary: In August 2017, Amanda Morales walked into a church in NYC not knowing when she would step outside again. The Guatemalan mother of three U.S. born children was the first immigrant since President Trump took office to claim sanctuary in New York, publicly resisting her deportation within a space that ICE recognizes as protected. Sanctuary gains rare and intimate access to Amanda and her family as they fight to remain together and adapt to life inside of the church.”

The documentary is 70 minutes long. We will screen the documentary and have 20 minutes for discussion with the filmmaker.
