World Premiere: A Death You Could Die By?

World Premiere: A Death You Could Die By?

Starts: Thursday, Jul. 16 4:00 PM (Eastern)

Ends: Thursday, Jul. 16 5:00 PM (Eastern)

​The creative team behind Who Is Dayani Cristal?‘s social impact campaign has produced a new short video ​addressing global migration. Come join the world premiere! Enjoy cookies and coffee after lunch but before the next panel sessions while watching this amazing, never seen before film piece.
Following the film, join in a discussion with the film’s producer and strategist Lina Srivastava, Colibrí Center for Human Rights Co-Founder Robin Reineke, and Tania Unzueta of #Not1More.  They will talk about the impact of the campaign around Who Is Dayani Cristal?, including challenges and successes, and have an interactive discussion with the audience on how to use storytelling and media for social impact in efforts towards immigration reform and migrant rights.
The producers are graciously funding a critical portion of the JustSeeds mural being painted in Downtown Phoenix this week. Without this amazing group of trans-media storytellers this mural would not have happened.
