<strong>Mexico and Central America Program Film Series: Two
Documentaries on Guatemala<br>
<i>Discovering Dominga </i>and <i>In the Shadow of the Raid</i>,
to be presented Thursday, October 14, 6 PM</strong>
<p>Also in conjunction with the publication of the new <i>ReVista</i>
on Guatemala, two contributors to the issue will be presenting
documentary films that they have produced at a special screening
that will be held at DRCLAS on the evening of Thursday, October
14. Journalist <b>Mary Jo McConahay</b> will present <b><i>Discovering
Dominga</i></b> (2003), which tells the story of a
Guatemalan-born woman who returned to her native village years
after being adopted by a family in Iowa. There, she grappled with
the reality that the rest of her family and many other village
residents had been killed in a massacre of Maya peasants that she
had survived as a small child. Also, filmmaker <b>Greg Brosnan</b>
will present <b><i>In the Shadow of the Raid</i></b>, which
documents the impact of the massive immigration raid on the <b>Agriprocessors
slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa,</b> both on that Midwestern
community and on the Guatemalan village from which many of the
workers caught up in the raid had come. The screenings will begin
at 6pm in the Tsai Auditorium on the concourse level (downstairs)
of CGIS South.<br>
