"Who is Dayani Cristal?” will be presented in Spanish and English with English subtitles to ensure accessibility to all viewers. There will be a thoughtful discussion about the film and its essential themes following the screening.

The Foreign Film Night is open to all offering a unique opportunity to experience international cinema and engage in meaningful dialogue.  Admission is completely FREE, however everyone who attends is encouraged to bring one item to donate to the HGTC Food Pantry or the Backpack Buddies project.
