Film screening of First Time Home and panel discussion

First Time Home, an award-winning film directed and shot by Noemi Librado Sanchez, Heriberto Ventura, Esmirna Librado and Esmeralda Ventura, follows four cousins who are Indigenous Triqui and second-generation immigrants.  They travel from their immigrant community in California to their family’s ancestral village in Oaxaca, Mexico, for the first time, after learning their grandfather is gravely ill.

Join us for a screening of the film followed by a panel discussion with Cristiana Giordano, Debarati Sanyal and Svati Shah chaired by Leti Volpp, in conversation with the film’s producer, Seth Holmes.

This event is funded by the Peder Sather Center as a research collaboration between the Centre for Women’s and Gender Research, University of Bergen and the Center for Race and Gender, UC Berkeley.
