Discussion on Border South with St. Louis Inter-faith Committee on Latin America (IFCLA)

This discussion is part of the St. Louis Inter-faith Committee on Latin America's (IFCLA) Week of Action for Alex Garcia, an undocumented immigrant who has been living in sanctuary here in St. Louis for three years to avoid deportation and separation from his family. Check out the week's programming via this link. 

Courtesy of Hostile Terrain 94 and the Undocumented Migrant Project, IFCLA will offer the film Border South, which offers an intimate perspective on undocumented migration from Central America to the US, available for viewing at no cost on your own computer! Check out the trailer here. After you register (using this link), you’ll receive details for how to access and view the film online. Please make time to watch the 90-minute documentary before our discussion on Wednesday evening.

Then, join Attorney Nicole Cortes from the MICA Project and Sara John from IFCLA for a discussion to help us understand how US laws and policies have shaped Alex’s circumstances in this country. We look forward to sharing some clips of the film throughout the evening, but please make time to watch it in advance.
