To commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month 2025, the Appell Center has collaborated with prominent York County community members to curate an exclusive film series. Each feature portrays the struggles, triumphs and challenges faced by notable individuals in significant periods of time. They are stories that simply must be told and retold… stories that continue to influence those that experience them.Each film screening will open with remarks by its curator, detailing why they think the movie should be shared with the York community, and how it has significantly impacted their lives.
