Vincent De La Torre (BA '13) is not afraid to address the hard issues. His film, "Trails of Hope and Terror," a project that spanned seven years, discusses the reasoning behind and the politics surrounding immigration, and seeks to unravel the historical events that have led to its current state.

So a group of faculty and students from the University of Denver decided to create ways for this communication to happen.
