#Darien Documentary Screening

Countless migrants make the treacherous journey from South and Central America to reach the U.S. – and many document it on social media. While Venezuelan filmmaker Tatiana Rojas Ponce struggles to find meaningful ways to help those arriving in New York from her home country, she meets Paola and Emily, who share stories, videos, and reflections about their harrowing passage through the Darien jungle en route to the United States.
Join the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center for a free screening of the documentary film, #Darien. Following the 36-minute screening, there will be a Q&A with Tatiana Rojas Ponce, the filmmaker and PhD candidate at NYU. Erick Moreno Superlano from the Centre on Migration, Politics and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford will moderate.
