Arima North Students Get A Glimpse Into Chilean Youth Through Film

Following Wednesday’s launch of the sixth edition of NALIS’ Latin-Ibero American Festival, the Embassy of Chile took centre stage on Thursday, treating students of Arima North Secondary School to a special screening of the Chilean film Calle, translated as “street”.

Hosted by Chilean Ambassador Cristobal Fernandez, the event showcased the power of film to connect cultures, offering students an intimate look at the lives of Chilean teenagers while reinforcing the message that young people, regardless of where they live, share similar hopes, dreams, fears and aspirations.

“We present this film to show the teenagers and the students here in Trinidad and Tobago that their problems in their life are not much different that like suffer or leave other students or teenagers in other parts of the world and Latin America, and specifically in Chile.”
