Movie Night: Roots of Migration
Join us for Friday Night Movies the First Friday of every month.
Friday, October 2-7pm
October’s movie will be “Roots of Migration” produced by Witness for Peace. Follow-up discussion will be led by Robyn Skrebes of Witness for Peace Upper Midwest.
Information on “Roots of Migration”-If you’re like us, you’ve wondered where the substance is in the ongoing migration debate. Arguments are limited to border walls and enforcement. Surprisingly lacking from this debate is one essential question: why? Why do millions of Latin Americans make the unlikely decision to leave their communities and cross a dangerous desert in order to live in a country with increasingly draconian anti-immigrant laws? Why did the number of Mexicans who made this decision multiply after the implementation of the U.S.-pushed North American Free Trade Agreement? Why aren’t we discussing the roots of migration?
