¡Te invitamos al cine! Únete al Fondo de Mujeres Indocumentadas y a la Fundación Rosa Luxemburgo este sábado 22 de agosto para presenciar la última entrega de nuestro Ciclo de Cine Feminista de Verano. ☀️🎬

El grán final de la serie será Stateless, un documental de Michele Stephenson que retrata la vida de las familias afectadas por la ley del 2013, con la que la Suprema Corte Dominicana quitó la nacionalidad a sus ciudadanos de ascendencia haitiana. Narrada a través de la campaña electoral en territorio de la joven abogada Rosa Iris, ofrece una ventana a la complejidad histórica de la política de ambos países.

¡Al finalizar la proyección, quédate para participar en la discusión! Hablaremos de cómo la película nos muestra lo que hay en juego en la batalla por la ciudadanía; cómo volver a la gente “apátrida” funciona como un herramienta de gobierno migratorio; y de qué modo la vida de quien migra es siempre “translocal”. ¡Tendremos una invitada sorpresa!
