DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the KQED-produced documentary "Dear Homeland" by 
 award-winning Colombian documentary filmmaker Claudia Escobar. The 
 screening will be followed by a conversation with the film's director and 
 singer-songwriter Diana Gameros, whose story is the heart of this film, and 
 a live musical performance.\n\n-----Unete para la proyeccion del documental 
 producido por KQED "Querida Tierra" (o "Dear Homeland" en ingles) de la 
 galardonada cineasta documental colombiana Claudia Escobar. La proyeccion 
 sera seguida de una conversacion con la directora de la pelicula y 
 cantautora Diana Gameros, quien compartira algunas canciones.\n\nAbout the 
 Film\n\n"Dear Homeland" tells the story of Bay Area-based singer-songwriter 
 Diana Gameros as she finds her voice as an artist and fights to define home 
 for herself as an undocumented immigrant. Told in part through Diana's 
 hauntingly beautiful music, we learn of her nearly 20-year journey that 
 takes her from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to San Francisco, California, where 
 we watch Diana assert herself not only as a musician, but as an immigrant 
 seeking citizenship and as an advocate for immigrant rights. It is through 
 song and finding a community of artists and immigrants that she finds the 
 courage to share her own story of being undocumented. She channels her 
 fears and the weight of her separation from her family into powerful songs 
 and activism - navigating the world she left behind in Mexico while finding 
 a home in the United States. This lyrical and poetic film gives audiences a 
 unique look into the challenges, aspirations and opportunities Diana 
 experiences, providing a counter-narrative to the dehumanizing language 
 that dominates present-day narratives about immigrants. Dear Homeland is a 
 deep reflection on family, resilience and what it means to call a place 
 home.\n\n$15.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/09/27/18845234.php
