The Knox Immigration Team and the San Gabriel Presbytery invite you to join us for a screening of the movie “Si pudiera quedarme” on Wednesday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Knox Sanctuary. Following the film, there will be time for discussion and exploration of future ministry and action.
“Si pudiera quedarme / If I Could Stay” is an intimate portrait of two undocumented Latinx mothers, Jeanette and Ingrid, who courageously choose to enter sanctuaries at local churches to fend off deportation and separation from their families. Over a five year span we watch them organize and activate the mainly white faith communities who are grappling with the idea of how to put their power, privilege, and faith into action to support their undocumented sanctuary guests. The film showcases the unwavering strength, love, and sacrifice of these mothers, who risk everything to keep their families together in the country they call home. It is a call to action and a powerful reminder that providing sanctuary is not just an act of charity, but a crucial act of social justice.
