Don’t Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) Film & Discussion

A public showing of the film Don't Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) 75 min. brings to light several issues regarding one woman's story. Angy Rivera had two crucial secrets in her life. The first was that she was an undocumented child living with her mother and siblings in New York City for 19 years. The second secret was more tragic: Rivera had been sexually abused by her stepfather from ages 4 to 8, a secret she eventually revealed and which, in the strange world of immigration law, helped her gain the visa she had always desired.

Guest speakers for a 30 minute discussion following the film include: Raul Figueroa, Community Organizer for Fuerza Laboral (an immigrant worker rights group) and John Willumsen-Friedman Esq., Director of Policy Advocacy for Center for Justice (a public interest law center that protects the rights of vunerable individuals).
