Join us for a film screening of Return to the Andes and a Q&A with the film director, Mitch Teplitsky.

After 20 years in New York City, Nelida Silva (title character of Soy Andina) returns again to her Andean birthplace with a dream to help rural women launch small businesses. Then the unexpected happens - she's invited to run for mayor by a new political party. Fed up with the region's decline and corruption, she accepts the challenge. Can she become the first woman to win, campaigning on a platform of sustainable development and anti-corruption against eight men who call her an outsider?
