This Saturday we will be watching the movie De Nadie. This documentary chronicles the journeys of several Central Americans as they attempt to enter the United States illegally. It highlights the journey, plight, and struggle that are very common for people searching for a better life for them and their family. After watching the film we'll discuss the movie, the issues, and what on earth this means for us living in Happy Valley. Questions? Contact Noel @ noel.habashy@gmail.com.
