Humanizing Immigration: Chèche Lavi Screening
followed by Q&A with Producer RachelCantave

Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2020
Time: 7:00 pm

Synopsis:Chèche Lavi is a lyrical portrait of two Haitian migrants, Robens and James, who find themselves stuck at the US-Mexico border with no way forward and no one to depend on but each other. The quiet, unexpected tenderness of their friendship shines in the eye of an incomprehensible geopolitical storm, even as the two men drift towards drastically different futures.

Rachel Cantave, Assistant Professor in International Affairs, produced the film.
