Estamos Aqui

Make-up screening date for Estamos Aqui is April 16.

Milton Historical Society and Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Delmarva Roots film series concludes on Friday, April 16 with a screening of “Estamos Aqui” at 7:00 PM at Milton Theater.

The story of one community in a changing nation, “Estamos Aqui” explores the evolving social, political, and economic landscape of Georgetown, Delaware. As the United States experiences the largest immigration wave in its history, this rural farming community becomes home to thousands of predominantly Guatemalan immigrants, fleeing from war and poverty in their homeland. Their struggles for safety and employment shed light on the challenges facing millions of Latin Americans who have come to the United States in search of the American Dream. While lawmakers argue over immigration reform and Minutemen patrol the Mexican border, millions of documented and undocumented immigrants alike are raising their voices to convey one undeniable truth: Estamos Aqui! [2006, runtime: 90 minutes, not rated]

Following the encore presentation of this film, Margaret Reyes, the Social Justice Chairperson of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic Affairs, will lead a panel discussion about immigration in this region and the nation as a whole.
