The two Southern Arizona humanitarian aid organizations present a screening of Vincent De La Torre’s newly released film Trails of Hope and Terror on Thursday, December 4 at 7:00pm at the Loft Cinema.

There will be a panel discussion and Q & A with the filmmakers and representatives from No More Deaths and Tucson Samaritans after the film. All proceeds from the evening will go toward the life-saving work of both organizations. General admission tickets are available for $15 at the loftcinema.com or at tucsonsamaritans.org. There will also be a limited number of VIP tickets available for $30.
