Immigration, Identities, and Injustice
MCC Theater
With immigration as a critical theme in current presidential debates, the discourse around undocumented immigrants reduces issues facing complex communities while ignoring systemic injustices. A panel of UCSB faculty and advocates will highlight marginalized identities within the larger undocumented community and consider the debates about citizenship, enforcement, and immigration reform through a human rights lens. The panel will be moderated by Dr. William Robinson, professor of Sociology, Global Studies, and Latin American Studies at UCSB.

In Football We Trust

Telling a contemporary American story, this film transports viewers deep inside Salt Lake City, Utah’s tightly-knit and complex Polynesian community – one of the chief sources for the modern influx of Pacific Islander NFL players. Shot over a four-year time period with unprecedented access, the film intimately portrays four young Polynesian men who strive to overcome gang violence and near poverty to realize the promise of NFL football.
