Join us for a thought-provoking screening of A Day Without a Mexican, a satirical film imagining the sudden disappearance of Mexican immigrants in California. What would happen to the economy, society, and culture if this essential workforce vanished overnight? The film explores how borders—whether physical, societal, or metaphorical—create divisions that impact labor, local economies, and community life. The film forces us to confront the human and societal costs of exclusion and reminds us of the vital role immigrant populations play in our everyday lives. After the screening, join a discussion on the film’s themes and the complex ways borders divide us—beyond just lines on a map. This will be an in-person event. Refreshments will be provided. Sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), the Center for Ethnic Studies Research (CERS)and the Hispanic Latino Professional Association (HLPA) at the University of Pittsburgh. This event is supported by CLAS OEDI Mini Grant.
