Screening + Q&A

RSVP

📍: BDC, 614 Courtlandt Ave, Bronx, NY 10451

Join filmmaker Bernardo Ruiz for a screening of his documentary El Equipo, which chronicles the history-making collaboration between Dr. Clyde Snow, a legendary forensic scientist originally from Texas, and a group of Argentine university students who would form the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team. This group revealed the truth to Argentine families about their disappeared loved ones, generating evidence that led to the conviction of hundreds of perpetrators in and out of government. The film chronicles this groundbreaking scientific team’s work up to present day Mexico, where members of the team have faced threats, spying and official attempts to discredit their work.
