Making its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Sin Nombre, a dramatic thriller from award-winning director Cary Fukunaga, will be featured at the CSUS Multi-Cultural Center Library 1010 Thursday, October 07, 2010 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM . The screening is free to attend.
Seeking the promise of America, a beautiful young Honduran woman, Sayra (Paulina Gaytan), joins her father and uncle on an odyssey to cross the gauntlet of the Latin American countryside en route to the United States. Along the way she crosses paths with a teenaged Mexican gang member, El Casper (Edgar M. Flores), who is maneuvering to outrun his violent past and elude his unforgiving former associates. Together they must rely on faith, trust and street smarts if they are to survive their increasingly perilous journey towards the hope of new lives.
Discussion following screening facilitated by Professor Hellen Lee-Keller (English) and Professor Elvia Ramirez (Ethnic Studies).
