    “The University of Arizona Latin American Studies Student Organization (LASSO) in collaboration with the Center for Latin American Studies invites you to a screening of Marcela Zamora’s film Maria en la tierra de nadie (Maria in Nobody’s Land), a documentary film that follows a group of three Central American women who travel through Mexico to the United States border. Marcela Zamora is Salvadoran filmmaker and journalist who has made the journey from El Salvador to the US-Mexico border with migrant women six times and has made 14 documentary films about gender and human rights.

    Following the showing of the film, Dr. Elizabeth Oglesby will moderate a panel with Marcela Zamora, and three community organizers and activists to foster a conversation about the marginalized experiences hidden in the discussion of migration and border violence.”
