During October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are pleased to present a screening of the intimate award-winning, documentary Foreign Puzzle, followed by a Q&A with the film's protagonist Sharon Marroquin and director Chithra Jeyaram.
Synopsis: Foreign Puzzle is an intimate documentary that captures the journey of an inspiring Mexican-American dancer as she communicates the impermanence of life through dance while juggling the roles of a recently divorced parent of a 6-year-old, a choreographer and a primary school teacher amidst intensive treatments for breast cancer.
Doors will open approximately 30 minutes prior to each screening. The screening is free and open to the public. General Admission RSVPs via Eventbrite are appreciated.
