'After Landing' Virtual Film Screening

Please join the Pulitzer Center on Monday, March 11, 2024, at 6:30pm EDT for a virtual film screening featuring the short documentary After Landing.

The film, directed by 2023 Columbia University Reporting Fellows Beibei Liu and Mayara Teixeira, follows couple Jorge and Jeczebel in the months after they immigrated to the United States from Venezuela via the dangerous Darién Gap. After a bus takes them from Texas to New York City, Jorge and Jeczebel are faced with finding housing, securing a job, and starting over in an unfamiliar city.

A conversation with filmmakers Liu and Teixeira will follow the virtual screening. The conversation will then open up to questions from audience members during a Q&A session.
