Join LARC for the second screening in our Mexican cinema series with the highly acclaimed film La guerra de Manuela Jankovic (2014) by director Diana Cardozo. It is the year 1991. Manuela works as a cook and lives with her grandmother, a Serbian immigrant who went to Mexico fleeing from the World War II. Surrounded by her grandmother’s memories and wounds, Manuela inherited the war trauma while growing up. Then, the Balkans conflict breaks out 11 thousand miles away and madness settles around these women, seizing them as the war continues at other side of the world. In Spanish with English subtitles. 1hr30mins. Free and open event. February 23, 2017 @ 7pm, SS 203.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
