Monday, November 16th:
Las Madres de Berks Documentary Screening and Panel
Join us on Monday, November 16th in Graham Auditorium for a screening of Las Madres de Berks followed by a panel discussion featuring Artist Michelle Angela Ortiz and immigrant rights organizers
@palovesimmigrants @freemigrationproject Ortiz created the Las Madres de Berks documentary, which shares the testimonials of four mothers who were detained for two years with their children at The Berks County Residential Center, a family prison in Pennsylvania. Berks is the oldest of the three permanent family prisons for immigrant families in the country. Despite being held up as a “model” by proponents of immigrant detention, the center has amassed a record of human rights violations.
All events are free and open to the public.
