Movie Screening & Discussion: El Equipo with Bernardo Ruiz
Friday, Jan. 26 5:30 - 8:00 PM | Josef Korbel School - Maglione Hall Room 5025
Movie Screening & Discussion: El Equipo with Bernardo Ruiz Join the Sié Center and our Fellows for a movie screening at Korbel's Maglione Hall! We are thrilled to present a special screening of the film El Equipo, followed by a discussion with the talented two-time Emmy-nominated director Bernardo Ruiz. ABOUT THE FILM: https://equipofilm.com/ Working with a trove of archival materials spanning four decades and unfolding as part procedural, part true crime thriller, El Equipo chronicles the history-making collaboration between Dr. Clyde Snow, a legendary forensic scientist originally from Texas, and a group of Argentine university students, who were dubbed “unlikely forensic sleuths” by The New York Times. Narrating the evolving relationship between Snow and the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, El Equipo delves into some of the most high-profile cases of the team’s history including the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador, and later the case of the missing 43 students in Mexico, where members of the team have faced threats, spying and official attempts to discredit their work. Snow’s legacy is also examined in countries like Guatemala, where Snow mentored forensic scientist Freddy Peccerelli and helped create a Guatemalan forensic team. With an unprecedented access to the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and its archives, El Equipo offers a welcome twist to the traditional true crime film by focusing on systemic political and human rights abuses rather than on one-off tales of murder or lone serial killers, and deftly creates a direct link between state atrocities from the past and present. After the screening, stick around for a lively discussion with Bernardo Ruiz, where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and gain deeper insights into the making of the film and the impact of its subject matter. Don't miss out on this unique chance to engage with the director and fellow film enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for this can't-miss event! We can't wait to see you at Maglione Hall, Sié Complex (5th Floor) for a wonderful evening of cinema and conversation. Light refreshments will be provided! More info
