JURUPA VALLEY–My Life, My Struggle, My Victory/Mi Vida, Mi Lucha, Mi Victoria

December 7, 2023

Musicians and dancers celebrate at a festival.

JURUPA VALLEY–Attend the première of the independently produced film, “My Life, My Struggle, My Victory/Mi Vida, Mi Lucha, Mi Victoria”, a documentary about the varied immigrant experiences that formed the foundation of Jurupa Valley. African, European, Asian, and Hispanic families have built this community in unique ways. Through the shared experiences of our neighbors we learn that differences in age, culture, religion and ethnicity are not as great as our common challenges, hopes, goals and experiences.

In English and Spanish with subtitles. No RSVP is required and entry is open to all at no charge.
