Acclaimed filmmaker Luis Argueta joins us to present his new
film, ABRAZOS, which tells the story of the transformational
journey of a group of U.S. citizen children who travel 3,000
miles, from Minnesota to Guatemala, to meet their grandparents for the first time. After being separated for nearly two
decades, these families are able to share stories, strengthen
traditions, and begin to reconstruct their cultural identity.

Program, the Arts & Social Responsibility Project, and the Immigrant Integration
Lab at the Boston College School of Social Work
