Borderland | The Line Within fundraiser screening

Cine Farito Presents:

Borderland | The Line Within

A Fundraiser Screening: Join Us for an Evening of Cinema, Community, and Conversation

Description

Cine Farito invites you to a special fundraiser screening of award-winning Pamela Yates' powerful documentary, "Borderland | The Line Within." This event is more than just a film viewing—it's an opportunity to use cinema to come together, share experiences, and support our vital mission of empowering immigrant families at risk of deportation in a Washington Heights public school.

 

About the Film

"Borderland | The Line Within" is a powerful documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Pamela Yates, exploring the complex issues surrounding U.S. immigration policies and their impact on undocumented families. This eye-opening film:

• Investigates the "border industrial complex" that transforms immigrant suffering into corporate profit
• Follows the inspiring journeys of Kaxh Mura'l and Gabriella Castañeda as they navigate the challenges of seeking asylum and fighting deportation
• Exposes the widespread nature of immigration enforcement beyond just the physical border
• Features exclusive footage of CBP raids on humanitarian aid camps, obtained through FOIA requests
• Combines compelling personal stories with data visualization to reveal the true extent of immigration enforcement infrastructure

 

Join us for this thought-provoking screening that challenges viewers to consider:

• The human cost of current immigration policies
• The resistance and resilience of immigrant communities
• The role of transparency in shaping public understanding of these issues

 

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with one of the most pressing social issues of our time and participate in a Q&A with filmmakers, Pamela Yates and Paco de Onís. Your attendance supports our mission to foster dialogue and action on immigrant rights.

 

Event Highlights:

• Exclusive screening of "Borderland | The Land Within" (trailer)
• Delicious food and refreshments
• Pre-film socializing with fellow community members
• Engaging Q&A session with special guests, Pamela Yates (director) and Paco de Onís (producer)

A Note on Ticket Prices 

As a way to raise funds, Cine Farito offers a tiered ticketing price structure, with the goal of remaining accessible to every person who wishes to attend our events while acknowledging the real value of the service – namely, the artistic and community-building labor – that a ticket purchase represents.

We ask that you select the option that best reflects your individual circumstances. This is not a “pay what you wish” scenario; rather, it's a “pay as much as your circumstances allow”. For context: the true cost of organizing this impactful event as well as the immediate help these funds can provide is significantly higher than our base ticket price.

 

Our tiered options are as follows: 

1. $25 (base price)
2. $10 (student/low income)
3. $20 (community supporter)
4. $30 (Friend of Cine Farito)
5. $45 (Advocate)
6. $60 (Patron)
7. $100 (Champion)

 

Our intention is to create an inclusive environment where everyone can participate in this important cultural and social justice event.

**As a ticket buyer, you'll receive the same experience regardless of the price you pay.** It's general admission for everyone.
