The family leaves Guatemala, joining a caravan of thousands of other people trying to reach the Mexico-US border. Being a single mother, this is Lilian’s best chance to make the dangerous journey. About the program (some intentions ) This screening event in collaboration with local partner organizations seeks to build a space for not only essential community education, but open dialogue and critical reflection, particularly in regards to the experiences of migrant/refugee womxn and the role of gender-based violence in the ongoing migration crisis. Across these events, we embrace the potential for a cinema space in which participants feel welcome and supported in the sharing of their personal experiences. Our conversations at these events along the US-MX borderlands may potentially tend to center migrants from Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. While it is certainly important that we address the specific needs and experiences of those communities, this event is also an opportunity to reflect on migration as a global issue and to consider how we can also build and sustain transnational solidarity with migrants from Africa and the Middle East, including the many asylum seekers currently crossing the Mediterranean into Europe. It is worth noting that as this series takes place, we are facing a frightening increase in policing and militarization at the US-MX border, as Title 42 will have nearly or recently come to a close. In a time of extreme brutality, we hope this screening program can serve as a catalyst for further reflections, discussions, and care-based community-based collaborations in acknowledgement and support of those who continue to collectively resist border regimes at the US-MX border and beyond.
