Description

MLLI's Spanish Documentary Film Festival


with the generous support of AOK Library and the Latin American Studies Minor. 


Every day dozens of decommissioned school buses leave the United States on a southward migration that carries them to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring the vast majority of Guatemalans to work each day. 


LA CAMIONETA follows one such bus on its transformative journey: a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected worlds in which we live.


Presentation and post screening discussion with Dr. Thania Muñoz D. 

at FA 015 (space limited, RSVP here) and online. See link above.
