Join the Office of Diversity & Inclusion's Latinx Student Success Center and its co-sponsors (see below) for a film screening and discussion of Fruits of Labor on Wed., March 30th from 4-6pm in the Saxbe Auditorium (Drinko Hall).
Synopsis: A Mexican-American teenager dreams of graduating high school, when increased ICE raids in her community threaten to separate her family and force her to become the breadwinner for her family. She works long days in the strawberry fields and the night shift at a food processing factory. Set in an agricultural town on the central coast of California, FRUITS OF LABOR is a coming of age story about an American teenager traversing the seen and unseen forces that keep her family trapped in poverty. A lyrical meditation on adolescence, nature and ancestral forces, the film asks, what does it mean to come into one’s power as a working young woman of color in the wealthiest nation in the world?
This event is sponsored by: Office of Diversity & Inclusion Latinx Student Success Center, Moritz College of Law, 'Charlas' on Migration, Center for Ethnic Studies, Latina/o Studies, Department of Spanish & Portuguese, & CLAS.
