Brother Towns Film – Durham

July 19, 2010 by chris

Join the Latin American Film Festival, the NC Council of Churches and local filmmaker Charles Thompson for an extraordinary evening in Durham as we premiere the new film Brother Towns / Pueblos Hermanos.  Afterwards, Dr. Thompson will answer questions about the film.

Date: Monday, November 1, 2010
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Carolina Theatre
Address: 309 W. Morgan Street, Durham, NC 27701
Cost: FREE

Brother Towns is a story of two towns linked by immigration, family, and work: Jacaltenango, a highland Maya town in Guatemala; and Jupiter, a coastal resort town where many Jacaltecos have settled in Florida.

Brother Towns chronicles a story of how and why people migrate across borders, how people make and remake their communities when they travel thousands of miles from home, and how people maintain families despite their travel. Because we are all immigrants, this is a universal human story, and a quintessential American one. All of us understand family.

Brother Towns is also a story of local and international controversy. News of undocumented immigrants is familiar in nearly every community across the U.S., and citizens must choose how they respond to this issue.
