‘Profe’ Screening at PBS Wisconsin

WHEN:

Mon, Sep 16, 2024 at 6:30 pm

WHERE:

Studio A, Vilas Communication Hall, Madison

Three women pose in a group from the knees up, facing the camera wearing bright colors of blue, yellow and magenta. To their right reads the film title, "PROFE: La Lucha Sigue," and below that reads, "Produced by Twin Cities PBS."

Join PBS Wisconsin and Latinos Organizing for Understanding and Development (LOUD) for a special screening of Profe, a powerful film from Twin Cities PBS that documents a groundbreaking Latine-led educational revolution in Minnesota. This one-hour film centers the intimate stories of three Latina women and their trailblazing efforts to empower Latine students in an educational experience designed specifically for them.

After the film, stay for a talkback with the director of Profe, Sergio Mata’u Rapu, for an exclusive opportunity to learn more about the making of the documentary! Following the talkback, LOUD will present the LOUD Educational Leadership Awards to local educators Bryan Grau, Dr. Armando Ibarra, and Silvia Gomez de Soriano.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film will start at 7 p.m. The film will be screened with Spanish captions.

Esta película se proyectará con subtítulos en español. La mayoría del evento será en inglés, pero habrá personal de PBS Wisconsin que habla español presente.

Follow the hallway until you reach a set of double glass doors that will take you into our studio lobby! You should see a flat-screen TV with the PBS Wisconsin logo. Make a right, then walk around the corner and down the hallway to find Studio A!

Proceed past the glass doors to the elevators and take the elevator down to the 2nd floor. From there, please walk down the hall, and you will see the studio entrance doors to the left.
