Dear UNA Pasadena community,
“Back to the Big Screen, PolyGlobal and Poly’s World Languages Department are pleased to announce that Producer Sarah Schoellkopf (Class of 1992) will return to Poly in order to screen her film, Norita.
The personal tragedy suffered by Nora Cortiñas, a former suburban housewife with no prior political experience, fuels her unwavering determination and intrepid activism during Argentina’s 1970s dictatorship, when the military regime kidnaps and “disappears” her activist son Gustavo and thousands more. She co-founds the globally renowned Mothers of Plaza de Mayo resistance movement in 1977 before emerging on the country’s political scene, time and time again over 4 decades, as a stalwart of human rights.
This film will enrich, inform, and inspire you. After the screening there will be an insightful discussion with a star-studded panel, which will feature key members of the cast and crew.”
This is a free event; however, registration is required. Please RSVP below if you would like to attend.
