Cup of Culture
Documented

In 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in an essay published in the New York Times Magazine. Documented chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his journey through America as an immigration reform activist; and his journey inward as he re-connects with his mother, whom he hasn't seen in person in over 20 years. Jose Antonio Vargas, Ann Raffaela Lupo, 89 min., English, Tagalog, and Spanish, 2013, USA, Philippines. Co-sponsored by UCSB Undocumented Student Services
Children’s Event
The Tree & The Donkey Who Loved to Sing AKA “El Árbol' with Cascada de Flores
MCC THEATER
Children of all ages and their families are invited to sing, dance and play with Cascada de Flores in this bilingual, participatory program telling the story of traditional music and dance inspired by the trio's journey to Veracruz, Mexico. The stories explode with rhyme, poly-rhythms, musical instruments and sweet characters -- you might meet the donkey and its jawbone, the abuelito and the vulture, the marimbol, the dance box, and the little 'mosquito' guitar.
