Lens & Learn Documentary Screening: Hispanic Heritage Month
Location
About
National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from September 15 to October 15 in the United States. It honors the history, culture, and positive impact of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
In Hummingbirds, Silvia and Beba tell their own coming-of-age story, transforming their hometown on the Texas-Mexico border into a wonderland of creative expression and activist hijinks. Filmed collaboratively over the final summer of their fleeting youth, their cinematic self-portrait celebrates the power of friendship and joy as tools of survival and resistance.
(1hr 17 mins) Please note: Due to the film's length, the screening will begin promptly at 6pm. Many documentaries are unrated and may not be suitable for teens. No registration needed; join us in the Meeting Room.
Lens & Learn meets every other month for a scintillating documentary. The next screening will be in November.
