Jurakán: Nation in Resistance
Please join documentary filmmakers Rosa Emmanuellie and Gonzalo Manzzinie for a screening and discussion of their film, "Jurakán: Nation in Resistance".
"Jurakán" establishes a connective thread between Puerto Rico's colonial past and its current political and economic status. It also covers both the social and political turmoil that Puerto Rico is now facing, as well as Puerto Ricans' struggles for dignity, meaning, and social and economic security in the aftermath of two devastating hurricanes in 2017. The film brings together 41 Puerto Ricans of different backgrounds to tell this story of hardship and resilience. Rosa and Gonzalo, the filmmakers, are very excited to bring this film to campus. The film has already screened in major cities across Puerto Rico and the United States. For a trailer and more information about the film, please visit https://www.jurakanpr.com/.
Before the film screening, Latinx Unidos will be hosting a dinner at Casa Latina to welcome Rosa and Gonzalo to Augustana College. All students are invited to the dinner. The dinner will be a great opportunity to chat with the filmmakers and ask questions in person.
This visit is sponsored by the Institute for Leadership and Service, Latinx Unidos, and the Departments of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Welfare, History, and Geography.
