Illinois Avenue, Aurora)Framed by today’s immigration debate, a son traces his family’s journey from undocumented newcomers to American citizens, revealing how those labeled a threat have always been a gift to the nation.Your registration reserves your seat for this free community event.Hosted by Rooted Advocates as part of its new Rooted Conversations series, these screenings use documentary storytelling to bring people together across experiences and perspectives.After the screening, filmmaker Miguel Lepe Jr. and co-producer Giselle Doyle, founder of Rooted Advocates, will guide a conversation inspired by the film's themes of immigration, identity, family, and belonging. Our hope is that these evenings spark meaningful dialogue, deepen understanding, and remind us that every family's story has the power to strengthen our communities.
