Please join us for a screening and discussion of "Raising Victor Vargas" (Dir. Peter Sollett, USA 2002, 88 min) in the Young Auditorium on Tuesday, October 25th at 6:00pm.

"Raising Victor Vargas" is a comedy about the trials (and errors) of being a testosterone-laden teenager in New York. The film tells the story of a young immigrant struggling to find a place among his peers. Caught up in amorous encounters with the likes of "Fat Donna" and "Juicy Judy," Victor navigates contesting ideals of Latino masculinities in hopes of finding the secret of what it means to actually be Victor Vargas.
