Description:

Join the Latina and Latino Studies Program for a special advanced screening of the critically acclaimed film and a discussion session with the film's Director and Persons featured in the film.

This one-hour documentary film explores the origins of indigenous slavery under Spanish colonialism in New Mexico; the histories of those enslaved and captured (Genízaros); the construction of latinidad erasures of indigeneity; the healing practices of indigenous feminists, and the ongoing struggle of decolonization.

"Genízaros embody duality in the human condition. This story is one of ethnogenesis and cultural hybridity. A blending of spirits." - Gary Medina Cook, Film Director
