Alaide Foppa, la sin ventura, Q&A with Mexican filmmaker María del Carmen de Lara

In the course of Alaide Foppa's life, she became a precursor of feminism in Mexico. She was an immigrant who, in her own way, tried to break the molds established by her upper-class upbringing. Her sensitivity and intellectual development made her question matters of social injustice, educational and gender inequalities, the importance of socially-committed art forms and the vindication of democracy throughout Latin America. Her tragic end reveals much about the history of Guatemala. In Spanish with English Subtitles. Cultural programming is fully integrated into the curriculum and made possible by the support of several donors, centers and institutes, both on campus and in the community.
