In episode 9, Tor chats with Hebe Tabachnik, artistic director of Cine Latino Minneapolis St.Paul festival. We discuss the festival, the importance of representation, and Hebe talks about her personal history and passions for films.

Cine Latino information can be found here. 

The Latinx community is still reeling from the El Paso massacre. Like others, we continue to process and come to terms with our new reality.

For this episode producer, Filiberto Nolasco Gomez gives Tor, a native of El Paso, a chance to speak to what they have been experiencing. This was a hard episode to record, but we felt it was important to share our thoughts as our community collectively processes the hostility of white supremacist terror.

Ultimately continuing to do what we do is our most excellent defense against acts of terror.

Show notes!
