Film Screening: Las Muertes Más Bellas del Mundo

Join us on January 16th, the 33rd anniversary of the Chapultepec Peace Accords, for a screening of the documentary, Las Muertes Más Bellas del Mundo (The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World). Created by Quique Aviles and the Yellow House Collective, this film follows a Salvadoran poet’s journey to find acceptance and healing through his writing of Las Muertes and interweaves a collection of Salvadoran-Wachintonian artist portraits – a poet, a photographer, a dancer, and musicians. Collectively, their voices and archival images tell a compelling, intimate, and historically-grounded story of a community resolving trauma and finding identity, salvation, and joy.

The film's producers will discuss the making and content of the film, and there will be a post-screening reception sponsored by the GW Latino Alumni Network following the film.
