The Unafraid

The documentary The Unafraid follows the lives of three immigrants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program—including two, Aldo and Alejandro, who grew up in Athens—over four years, examining how they were affected by Georgia’s ban on attending UGA and other top public universities, and a policy requiring them to pay out-of-state tuition at colleges they are allowed to attend. The 7 p.m. screening will be preceded by a gallery walk of artwork by immigrant students and reception catered by The National at 6 p.m., and followed by a panel discussion among directors Anayansi Prado and Heather Courtney and two of the film’s subjects. Admission is free, but donations to U-Lead Athens, a mentoring and scholarship program for undocumented immigrants, are welcome.
