The New England Aquarium is proud to host a free, in-person film screening to kick off the Hispanic Access Foundation’s second annual Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Week, from October 11–14, 2022. To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, this event will spotlight films that elevate the stories of Latino, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, and highlight the connections between our communities and the lands, waterways, and the ocean we call home.

Featured films include:

• I Was Just a Child, Directed by Breech Asher Marfil Harani
• De Panka, Directed by Alejandro Jose Espejo Arizaga
• Mujer Espíritu, Directed by Adriana Ronquillo Vásquez
• Kintsugi II, Directed by Alejandra Cardona
• El Canto Del Mar, Directed by Kat Reynolds

Register for this free, in-person screening at the Simons Theatre. Light refreshments will be served.

We look forward to sharing an evening of inspiring filmmaking!
