WEDNESDAY NIGHT CINEMA SOCIETY and
THE BODIES, BORDERS and VIOLENCE RESEARCH CLUSTER present

MACHETE (dir. Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, 2010)

Please join us for this screening and discussion of the film Machete. Based on a fake trailer for Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse (2007), this film tells the story of a group of  renegade "illegal immigrants," as they go to town on the bad guys!

After the screening, "we'll be discussing the representation of violence on the border, badass Chicanas with knives and guns, and whether or not the film satisfies our revenge fantasies..."
