This is a past event.

Join the Center for Diversity and Inclusion for a screening of the documentary, First Voice Generation, followed by a discussion with filmmaker, Cyhthia Martinez, on Monday Oct 14 from 6-8pm in Forestry, G002. 

First Voice Generation follows three Latinx high school students in Holland, Michigan. As children of Mexican immigrants, they struggle with a sense of identity and belonging growing up in this predominantly Dutch community. They dream of being the first in their family to go to college but Covid-19 shuts the world down, and virtual learning exacerbates their struggles. The cost of affording college makes their dream seem impossible.
