Screening Aug 14.

Get a jump on India Independence Day (it's actually Aug. 15, but hey, a party is a party) and join us for the award-winning documentary:
ROOTS IN THE SAND
by
JAYASRI HART

Roots in the Sand is the fascinating story of Sikh men from the Punjab in India who immigrated to the Imperial Valley in Southern California in the 1920's. The Asian Exclusion Act prevented them from bringing wives from the Punjab to California, so Sikhs married Mexican women, many of whom had been Adelitas or soldiers during the Mexican Revolution.

We open the doors at 7 pm and the screening starts around 7:30pm

Location: the Centro Cultural de la Raza
2004 Park Blvd, Balboa Park
