HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH FILM SCREENING "A WAY TO BE TOGETHER"

On Saturday evening October 3rd, 6:30pm, the Thomas Edison Film Festival (TEFF) and the Hoboken Historical Museum present a unique program honoring Hispanic Heritage Month, featuring special guest filmmaker Trina Bardusco. 

The evening kicks off with a wine reception at 6:30pm followed by Ms. Bardusco’s inspiring documentary that highlights the power of people and community to come together to make positive change against all odds.  A talk with festival director Jane Steuerwald and Trina Bardusco & Q&A follows the film. The program is free to the public.

“A Way to Be Together” takes place in the New Jersey town of Lambertville, divided by unseen borders, as the Mexican immigrant community steps into the light. Their festival celebration sparks pride and unity—but as fear grows, even joy becomes a radical act of hope.
