Documentary screening tomorrow
May 11, 2015 •
APISA and UCOP PRIDE present a special screening of Penny Baldado’s documentary about her personal journey to America as an undocumented immigrant queer woman of color.
Date: Wednesday, May 13
Time: 12 to 1 p.m.
Location: Franklin Lobby 1
You may know Baldado as the proprietor of Café Gabriela. She is also the subject of a short film, My Beautiful Resistance. She created this film in part to show her story about moving to the United States to live as an out lesbian because she felt that she couldn’t do that in her native Philippines. Baldado’s status as an undocumented immigrant becomes an obstacle as she attempts to establish her American life.
Light refreshments will be served at the screening. Stay after the film for a Q&A and discussion with Baldado.
