SUMMARY:FILM - No Más Bebés Screening | Documentary about Madrigal v. Quilligan
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\nImagine you go to a hospital to give birth. Your doctors don’t speak your language\, and you are pressured to consent to medical procedures in a language you do not understand. \nNO MÁS BEBÉS is an Emmy Nominated documentary that tells the story of Mexican immigrant mothers in Los Angeles who were sterilized in the 1960s and 1970s and Antonia Hernandez\, the young Chicana lawyer behind the landmark civil rights case Madrigal v. Quilligan. NO MÁS BEBÉS premiered in 2016 on PBS’s Emmy Award-winning series\, “Independent Lens.” \nMACRI and UTSA’s Democratizing Racial Justice (DRJ)\, with support from GoodDocs\, present a screening of NO MÁS BEBÉS followed by a Q&A with the film’s producer\, Virginia Espino. \nVirginia Espino is an oral and public historian and leader for Latina and Latino History at UCLA’s Center for Oral History Research. She developed oral history projects around Latinx civil rights struggles in California\, and her investigation of the history of coercive sterilization at the Los Angeles-USC Medical Center provided the basis for NO MÁS BEBÉS. \n📍This FREE event will be held on Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\, at 6 PM in the Aula Canaria Auditorium in the Buena Vista Building (Room 1.328) at the UTSA Downtown Campus\, located at 801 W. Cesar Chavez Blvd. \n🚘 Free parking will be available in Cattleman’s Square Lot on Buena Vista Street (next to Pico de Gallo and across the street from Aula Canaria). \n⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: This film deals with a difficult subject matter and may not be suitable for all audiences \nMACRI’s programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture\, Bexar County\, the Mellon Foundation\, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation\, Wells Fargo\, and individual donors like you! Gracias! \nViews and ideas shared by presenters do not necessarily reflect those of MACRI\, its staff\, or funders.
