Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month Film Screening: "The infiltrators" | October 11
Monday, Oct. 11, 6 to 9 p.m., Posner Hall 153
Presented by the Department of Modern Languages and the Dietrich College's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in honor of Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month.
All are welcome!
It's barely been a couple weeks since CMU reallowed in-person events, and we just finally GOT TO screen The Infiltrators on campus thanks to the efforts of our colleague Kenya Dworkin, who programmed it as part of the Modern Languages Latinx Hispanic Heritage Month film series, albeit without the presence of filmmakers Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibarra for the Q&A (After recently becoming the first married couple to win MacArthur grants at the same time, we will be lucky to book them again).
