Global Languages Movie Night: La Cocina de las Patronas

In La Cocina de las Patronas (2016), director Javier García documents a group of women in Veracruz, Mexico, who have spent over two decades preparing and delivering meals to Central American migrants traveling atop the perilous freight train known as La Bestia. This poignant film captures their daily acts of compassion, transforming a humble kitchen into a powerful symbol of resistance and solidarity against the criminalization of migration.
