The Mendocino College Dream Center invites the community to attend a FREE screening of:
From Here, From There (De Aqui De Alla)
A film by Marlene "Mo" Morris
A Co-Production of Galewind Films and Latino Public Broadcasting presented as part of the PBS VOCES series, with major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
When ICE threatens 700,000 fellow Dreamers, immigration lawyer Luis Cortes Romero fights back — and becomes the first undocumented immigrant to argue a case at the U.S. Supreme Court. The DACA program, aimed at shielding undocumented immigrants brought into the U.S. as children, is under attack, and time is running out for young DACA recipients. FROM HERE/FROMTHERE (DE AQUÍ/DE ALLÁ) is an uplifting and clear-eyed documentary interweaving the controversial case’s journey to the Supreme Court, the immigrant rights movement, and the remarkable personal story of family, hope, and perseverance.
Luis Cortes Romero will be in attendance at the screening and will participate in a Q&A session moderated by Dr. Roberto Renteria, HSI Program Manager.
