Boulder SURJ is proud to present the sixth event of our Justice Film Series! Join us to view the important film Si Pudiera Quedarme/If I Could Stay, followed by a thought-provoking community conversation. Doors will open at 6PM, and we will be meeting this time, for the first time, at the Arts Hub in Lafeyette. The programming will begin at 6:15 sharp, so plan on arriving early to allow time for parking and finding snacks & seating before the movie starts.
Si Pudiera Quedarme / If I Could Stay is an intimate portrait of two undocumented Latinx mothers who go to dramatic lengths to fend off deportation and separation from their families in the United States. The film follows five years in the lives of two mothers, both of whom have chosen to enter sanctuary at local churches, rather than report to ICE to be deported. Once they enter sanctuary, they physically do not leave the church grounds until they attain legal status, a process that can take years. ICE is currently practicing a ‘sensitive locations’ policy, which dictates not to enforce deportations in houses of worship and creates a temporary refuge for immigrants facing deportation.
