Opening Night Feature Screening – Wednesday, November 9 from 8:45-10:00 pm
Indivisible by Hilary Lippert Linder (Docs In Progress Fellow and Fiscal Sponsoree)
Amidst the political rhetoric of walls, three young people are working to prove that love knows no borders. Renata, Evelyn, and Antonio were young children when their parents brought them to the United States in search of a better life. They were teenagers when their mothers, fathers, and siblings were deported. Today, they are known as Dreamers. Join them at a pivotal moment in their lives as they fight for a pathway to citizenship and a chance to be reunited with their loved ones. Following the screening, director Hilary Linder and editor Laura Franco-Velasco will participate in a Q&A with the audience.
at AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, MD
followed by an afterparty at Not Your Average Joe’s, just steps away.
