Film and Round Table Discussion: “Cli´nica de migrantes” (2017)

Guest speakers Dr. Megan Strom, (UWL Global Cultures and Languages) Michelle Pinzl (Viterbo Universi

Underserved, undocumented immigrants with medical issues often end up in emergency rooms as a costly last resort, and can be charged thousands of dollars for little more than an aspirin. Cli´nica de migrantes paints a compassionate portrait of patients at Puentes de Salud, and similar clinics across the country, which are trying to address this issue and provide care for these men, women and children, many of whom left their families behind to perform physically exhausting labor in the U.S. Cli´nica de migrantes goes beyond the politicized rhetoric to show the faces of real people in the middle of the immigration debate, asking if America can continue withholding basic necessities from an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants.
