This Taco Truck Kills Fascists: Live Virtual Screening

A clarion call for your conscience as we fully enter the Age of Trump.

Southern Documentary Fund (SDF) champions Southern documentary makers and stories. Inspired by our belief in the power of media to change lives, we provide documentarians with resources, including grants, fiscal sponsorship, and mentorship–all to promote Southern stories and lower barriers for documentary makers and underrepresented voices.

Screenings on Kinema feature SDF supported films and showcase some of the amazing projects created since SDF’s founding in 2002. This live event will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker Rodrigo Dorfman.

ABOUT THE FILM: New Orleans-based performance activist Jose Torres-Tama has a dream: to create a revolutionary Taco Truck Theatre with a simple message: “No guacamole for immigrant haters”. Inspired by Woody Guthrie’s motto: this machine kills fascists, This Taco Truck Kills Fascists weaves two narratives: the classic “against all odds” story of an immigrant artist of color bringing the voices of radical Black performers and undocumented workers out of the shadows and the story of a father struggling to raise his two boys into political consciousness in the Age of Trump.

Genre: Documentary | Runtime: 51m | Released: 2018 | Directed by Rodrigo Dorfman
