ABOUT THE BULLS & SAINTS
After 20 years of living in the United States, an undocumented family decides to return home. Little do they know it will be the most difficult journey of their lives. Set against a backdrop of the rodeo rings of North Carolina and the spellbinding Mexican hometown they long for, Toros y Santos (Bulls and Saints) is a love story of reverse migration, rebellion, and redemption.
ABOUT THE JARDINES:
Jardines is an intimate portrait of the experiences and trajectories unique to displaced Queer folks as they flee violence and persecution in their home countries. The film introduces us to people from all over the world as they contemplate the uncertainty of a future in the United States at a time when asylum legislation and LGBTQ+ rights are under legal duress. (25 minutes)
This event is free and open to all!
