Join us to see and respond to this independent film about an immigrant child's search for her mother.
Celebrate our first film, meet the filmmakers, and join us in supporting Atlanta's beautiful and vulnerable immigrant community.
Frame by frame, scene by scene, we filmed an invitation.
The invitation is to see the vulnerable children in our community as whole people who deserve our support. By telling the story of one child and the odds she faces, we hope that people who watch it will embrace her and the community she represents.
"Con Permiso" follows a young girl who needs a permission slip signed for a field trip, but can't find her mother, an immigrant who cleans the houses of wealthy neighbors. This child has to dodge the perils, expectations, and restraints of the adult world to get permission to join a class activity.
We believe that this story is an important one, and we've worked with friends, neighbors, and professional filmmakers to make sure we tell it well.
Join us for the Film Premiere of "Con Permiso", our first narrative film by Presencia in partnership with Whistling Blue and Elva Mae!
Guests will be invited to join us in the good work of Presencia, a nonprofit in Atlanta creating healthy community around the children of immigrants though after school programing, leadership development and economic empowerment.
We will also give a shout out to Sponsors, Benefit Hosts, and Board members.
After the showing we will enjoy a delicious meal made by Betos Tacos, an immigrant owned local business, and BYOB in the lobby to share, connect and celebrate in community!
*Benefit Hosts will receive a promo code for their guests to waive their ticket cost.
