Illegal
Reel and Meal presents via ZOOM the documentary Illegal, a documentary by Lazaro Ayala about his escape from the civil war in El Salvador in 1980 by coming to the United States in the trunk of a car. In due course he became a citizen and an entrepreneur. He counters the right-wing rhetoric so prevalent these past four years by depicting examples of real people seeking refuge in USA. This program is a preview of a film to be included in the 2020 Utopia Film Festival. For more information about it contact Frank Gervasi, .
The program starts at 7 pm. Plan to sign in to the Zoom meeting by 6:45 to ensure being admitted on time.
