Join us for Part 2 of our pairing of contemporary documentary films for Hispanic Heritage Month. Brief discussions will follow both films.

On Tuesday, October 14th at 3:30pm we will screen HUMMINGBIRDS (2023): Silvia and Beba tell their own coming-of-age story in "a punk-rock portrait of the immigrant experience," transforming their hometown on the Texas-Mexico border into a wonderland of creative expression and activist hijinks. Filmed collaboratively over the final summer of their fleeting youth, their cinematic self-portrait celebrates the power of friendship and joy as tools of survival and resistance.
