Screening of Train to Nowhere

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - 6:30pm

The documentary, 'Train to Nowhere; Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation', offers an honest but compassionate look at the deaths of the eleven undocumented immigrants in 2002, found in a rail freight car in Denison, Iowa. The documentary breaks free of the standard immigration story in examining the case from various viewpoints: that of the immigration agent, the brother of a victim from Guatemala, and a one-time train conductor imprisoned for working with the smugglers.

Join author Colleen Krantz for this presentation and discussion that will explore this complex issue.
