Screening and Conversation with People's Biennial Artist and film Director Laura Deutch, and Directors Carlos Pascual Sanchez and Leticia Roa Nixon."
El Sol Sale chronicles the rapid growth of the Mexican community in the historically immigrant neighborhood of South Philadelphia. Told through the first hand experiences of the main subjects who have been a formative part of this development over the last 20 years, a collective story of the community unfolds. However with growth and assimilation, come problems, resistance and efforts to organize. El Sole Sale presents stories from the subjects’ memories, reflections and perspectives about the complexity of searching for a better life in a country that is not one’s own.
Organized by Filmmaker-in-Residence Vicky Funari - vfunari@haverford.edu
Sponsored by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities, Leaves of Grass Fund and Independent College Programs.
