Mujer Mariposa: Community Film Screening & Panel Discussion
Join People on the Move Film Series for a free community screening of Mujer Mariposa, an feature length documentary following three first-generation daughters of migrant and refugee women as they navigate identity, belonging, and home-building across the U.S., Philippines, Eritrea, and El Salvador.
Created by two transborder Chicana artists rooted in the San Diego–Tijuana borderlands, Mujer Mariposa is deeply informed by migrant justice work and community collaboration. The film is an Official Selection of the 2026 Immigration Film Fest in Washington, DC and The InterCultural Voices Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with director/producer Diana A. Cervera and cinematographer Magdalena Ramirez Cerda, moderated by Dr. Katherine Fobear, Professor and Department Chair of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at California State University, Fresno.
