Unitarian Universalist Society East will show the film "Borderland" at 7 pm Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. Tickets are $5 to benefit CT Students for a Dream. Q&A with filmmakers Pamela Yates and Paco de Onís will follow the film.
In "Borderland," we journey with immigrants resisting and organizing for their human rights in the shadow of the vast border industrial complex, a multi-billion dollar business of surveillance, detention, and deportation effectively embedding the border in every corner of our nation. The interwoven stories of courageous immigrants seeking a way forward sheds light on the human cost of the struggle, as the threat to themselves and democracy looms with immigration used as a wedge issue for political gain and a gateway to authoritarian rule. All are welcome.
The film has spoken English and Spanish. In our bilingual version of the film for the screening, the spoken English has Spanish subtitles, and the spoken Spanish has English subtitles.
