27 Tickets : available at the door

Synopsis of the documentary *Destierros*, by Hubert Caron-Guay (2017, documentary, 92 min, original version with French subtitles):

They set out from the far reaches of Central America to reach a North brimming with promise. From one refuge to the next, from one trap to another, these migrants—caught between their homeland, which has become hostile, and a destination no less so—endure unimaginable violence on their journey. Quebec filmmaker Hubert Caron-Guay takes us on an immersive journey through the epic odyssey of these women and men—a poignant and essential documentary.

We look forward to seeing you there!
