Just Read! Film Screening: The Hand that Feeds

Location

Saints Tekakwitha and Serra Hall, 200, Humanities Center

Free

At a popular bakery café, residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. But behind the scenes, undocumented immigrant workers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick. Mild-mannered sandwich maker Mahoma López has never been interested in politics, but in January 2012, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back. Co-sponsored by USD's Changemaker HUB.

This film screening is a part of the USD Just Read! program in collaboration with many partners across campus. Watch this film regarding migration, one of the topics for the 2019-20 USD Just Read! theme "Defining What is Home? Homelessness, Displacement and Migration."
