The free, public screening will be in University Center 200. The filmmaker, Juan Carlos Oseguera, an alumni of San Francisco State University and the CSU Summer Arts at Fresno State, will discuss the film with guests who were featured in the film.
The film highlights the human impact a federal ruling had on a farm working community, in the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley, when its water supply was shut off and the unity they staged in order to fight for their water.
