Civic Cinema: “Don’t Tell Anyone”

Presented by the UIC Latino Cultural Center and the University Library’s Undergraduate Engagement Program.

Join us as we watch the 75-minute documentary “Don’t Tell Anyone” (“No Le Digas a Nadie”), which shares an intimate glimpse into a young immigrant activist life as she shares her parallel journey of coming out of the shadows as undocumented and as a survivor of sexual abuse.

Angy Rivera arrived in the United States at the age of 4 with her mother, fleeing violence, poverty and civil war in their native Colombia. In her early 20s, Rivera became an activist for undocumented youth with a popular advice blog “Ask Angy,” a YouTube channel and by becoming a leader with the New York State Youth Leadership Council. This film follows Rivera’s remarkable journey from rural Colombia to the front page of The New York Times.

This program is co-sponsored by the Rigoberto Padilla-Perez Undocumented Student Resource Center, the Fearless Undocumented Alliance and the Campus Advocacy Network.

Free admission and refreshments.
