Screening of East of Salinas
Join Bon Appétit Fellow, Amanda Wareham, for a showing of East of Salinas. The documentary follows elementary school student Jose Ansaldo and his teacher Oscar Ramos, for three years. Throughout the film, Jose begins to fully understand the extra challenges he faces as a child of migrant farmworkers, through no fault of his own. “For Jose, a student with such promise, East of Salinas demonstrates the cruelty of circumstance — a cruelty that touches on the futures of millions of undocumented kids in America.”
