Cinema has historically served as an instrument of cultural and political dialogue between the United States and Latin American countries, particularly Mexico, at times playing the role of bridge, witness, mirror, narrator, and catalyst of complex inter-American relations. Join us for a discussion of how cinema and that cultural and political dialogue will evolve in the coming years.
