Expanding Sanctuary (2023) follows grassroots efforts to oppose deportation systems in Philadelphia and reimagine the city as a true place of refuge.
The Search (2020) offers a deeply human portrait of families and volunteers in Arizona working tirelessly to locate missing migrants along the U.S.–Mexico border.
A post-screening panel discussion with UIC professors Dr. Xóchitl Bada and Dr. Patrisia Macías-Rojas will invite reflection on solidarity, community protection, and the ongoing struggles for migrant justice.
