About The Event
The Immigration Task Force is hosting a screening of the documentary film Si Pudiera Quedarme/If I Could Stay. It is an intimate portrait of two undocumented Latinx mothers who go to dramatic lengths to fend off deportation and separation from their families in the United States. The film follows five years in the lives of two women who chose to enter sanctuary at local churches, rather than report to ICE to be deported. Once they enter sanctuary, they physically do not leave the church grounds until they attain legal status, a process that can take years. This film gives viewers a window into the determination of these two mothers to keep their families together against one obstacle after another for an unknown amount of time. Months, years?
After the film we will be joined, via Zoom, by the film director and one of the two women for a question and answer session.
