The Unafraid
MCC Theater
The Unafraid is a documentary that follows the lives of three DACA students in Georgia, a state that has banned them from attending top state universities and disqualifies them from receiving in-state tuition at any other public college. This film takes an intimate look at the lives of Alejandro, Silvia, and Aldo as they navigate activism, pursue their right to an education, and fight for the rights of their families and communities. The Unafraid shows us what it means to grow up both American and undocumented in the United States. Post film discussion with the film-maker to follow. 1h 25m

The Family Markowitz by Allegra Goodman Facilitated by: Cheri Gurse
MCC Meeting Room
Last year the MultiCultural Center kicked off a new series to explore the issues of race and belonging through literature. This series is an interactive space for lively discussions on various theories about race, a safe space for articulating perspectives on identity and belonging which are contextualized by different authors, and an intentional time for centering the narratives of marginalized communities. Discussions will be facilitated by various faculty members, graduate students, and staff members. Reading the materials is suggested but are not required for attendance. This series hopes to cultivate open dialogue, and a spirit of appreciation and intellectual kinship. All are welcome.
