“We Still Here” screening, March 1

There will be a screening of the documentary “We Still Here” from 2 to 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, in the Library Events Room (LIB 121). “We Still Here” is about the incredible Puerto Rican youth navigating the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, a disaster that brought an unprecedented level of devastation to an island already experiencing economic and political crisis.

In the lush mountains in the center of Puerto Rico, 24-year-old Mariangelie Ortiz leads a group of young residents who never thought they would become the leaders of their community. Nonetheless, they find themselves traveling to Washington, D.C., to protest in the halls of Congress. This coming-of-age story follows the youth as they find their power and begin creating a sustainable future for themselves and their community.

Director Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi and Producer Khalil Jacobs-Fantauzzi will be present for a Q&A and a participatory action filmmaking workshop. This event is sponsored by the Latina/Latino Studies Department, the Women and Gender Studies Department and SF State’s Climate HQ.
