The 16th annual Providence Latin American Film Festival started on Wednesday 9/24 and will run until Sunday 9/27/08.
One film that I recommend viewing is called Price of Sugar (El Precio del Azucar). It's a documentary film that focuses on the lives and treatment of migrant Haitian workers in the Dominican Republic. Our school plans to sponsor a trip during Springbrak to work with this group and it would be great for students to gain some exposure about some of the issues pertaining to the workers prior to the trip.
