At a moment when the rights of immigrants are being attacked, a fuller story of immigration needs to be told to address the harms perpetuated by immigration enforcement practices and policies that extend beyond the crisis at the border. Whether it’s through raids, people being picked up at courthouses, or being forced to live in churches - families are being separated and attacked across America.

You’re invited to Stories Beyond Borders, five short films that show a more complete picture of the attacks on immigrant families and communities. Beyond building empathy, these films lift up real stories of resilience and strength, while illustrating some of the ways people can give their time, energy, and resources to support organizing led by immigrant communities.

The screening of the films will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:

Juana Luz Tobar Ortega, who has been in sanctuary at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Greensboro NC since May 31, 2017, and is featured in one of the films we will show, Santuario.

Stephany Mejia, board member of Women AdvaNCe, and is a clinical social worker, working in early childhood mental health in the Triangle area.

Stefania Arteaga, the Acting Regional Immigrants' Rights Strategist for the NC ACLU

Pilar Timpane, is the Co-Director, Co-Producer, and Cinematographer of Santuario, one of the 5 films featured in Stories Beyond Borders.

The films and panel will be available in English and Spanish.

This event is hosted by Working Films and Women AdvaNCe.

------

En un momento en que se atacan los derechos de los inmigrantes, se debe contar una historia más completa de inmigración para abordar los daños perpetrados por las prácticas y políticas de aplicación de las leyes de inmigración que se extienden más allá de la crisis en la frontera.

Le invitamos a Historias Pasando Fronteras, cinco cortometrajes que muestran una imagen más completa de los ataques contra familias y comunidades inmigrantes. Más allá de generar empatía, estos cinco cortometrajes cuentan historias reales de resistencia y fortaleza, al tiempo que ilustran algunas de las formas en que las personas pueden dar su tiempo, energía y recursos para apoyar la organización dirigida por las comunidades de inmigrantes.

¡Únase con nosotros para esta presentación y discusión gratuitas para obtener más información y descubrir qué puede hacer para enfrentar estos ataques!

Cuando hayan terminado las películas, habrá una conversación con:

Juana Luz Tobar Ortega, quien se ha refugiado en el santuario de la Iglesia episcopal St. Barnabas en Greensboro, NC desde May 31, 2017, y es el personaje principal en la película Santuario.

Stephany Mejia, miembro de la mesa directiva de Women AdvaNCe, y quien es una trabajadora social clínica, que trabaja en el área de salud mental de la primera infancia.

Stefania Arteaga, quien trabaja para la ACLU de Carolina del Norte luchando por los derechos de los inmigrantes.

Pilar Timpane, quien es la co-directora, y co-productora y cineasta de Santuario, una de las cinco películas destacadas en Historias Pasando Fronteras.

"La película y el discusión estarán disponibles en español e inglés"

La presentacion y discusion son presentadas conjuntamente por Working Films y Women AdvaNCe.
