On Sunday, January 30, the Watsonville is in the Heart (WIITH) project team rings in 2022 with a screening of Geoffrey Dunn and Mark Schwartz’s Dollar a Day, Ten Cents a Dance (1984). The documentary offers a portrait of Filipino agricultural workers, who traveled to California in the early through the mid-twentieth century.

Join community members for a conversation between director Geoffrey Dunn, local philanthropist and activist George Ow, and Steve McKay, professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz and co-Principal Investigator of WIITH.

This event is part of the larger community-engaged public oral history project Watsonville is in the Heart (led by UCSC historian Kat Gutierrez and labor sociologist Steve McKay), in collaboration with the Tobera Project.
