Good afternoon Chautauqua fans!
We invite you to join us for a special screening of the documentary film “Symbols of Resistance” on September 13.
SYMBOLS OF RESISTANCE – SEPTEMBER 13
a tribute to the Martyrs of the Chican@ Movement
“Symbols of Resistance” illuminates the untold stories of the Chican@ Movement as it emerges in the 1970s with a focus on Colorado and Northern New Mexico. This film engages the importance of student activism; the effect of police repression and how issues of identity, land and community still resonate in the Chican@ struggles of today. Through interviews with those who shaped the movement and rare historical footage, “Symbols of Resistance” offers a window into a dynamic moment in history and movement building.
Jasón Romero Jr. will give an introduction as well as participate in a panel discussion after the screening. Other panelists include Dr. Priscilla Falcon, Ricardo Romero, Francisco “Kiko” Martinez, Esai Lopez and Nydia Salazar. Learn more about the panelists here. View the film trailer here.
Thursday, September 13. 7:00 PM. Chautauqua Community House.
