Last week, I moderated a screening and panel for @fromherefromtherefilm at @hostoscollege alongside Luis Cortes Romero @luiscortes and producer Nicole Solis-Sison. A film that tells a story so many of us know too well. Fear, sacrifice, family, resilience, and what it means to keep going while navigating a system that constantly tries to make us feel invisible. Thank you to everyone who came, shared space with us, and asked questions during the panel. Watch the film. Bring it to your city. Start the conversation where you are. ✨ 🎥: @gaffitas_

Today, the stakes remain high for undocumented young people. The future for DACA recipients hangs in the balance amidst ongoing legal and political threats. FROM HERE/FROM THERE (DE AQUÍ / DE ALLÁ) is a timely documentary that highlights the urgent need for compassionate immigration reform. @fromherefromtherefilm /from-here-from-there
