NBCUniversal News Group launched NBCU Academy, a new, innovative, multiplatform journalism training and
development program for four-year university and community college students through education, on-campus
training and online programming.

The initiative includes a curated onsite curriculum for hands-on learning experience with world-class NBCU News
Group journalists, funding for accredited journalism programs and scholarships.

In keeping with Comcast and NBCU News Group's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, the multi-year
partnership involves17 academic partners including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving
Institutions and colleges with significant Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Black, Indigenous and tribal
populations - reaching students from underrepresented groups including those from diverse racial, ethnic,
sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, economic, and geographic backgrounds.

"Creating an inclusive culture for journalism that represents the communities we serve is at the very core of what
we do," said NBCU News Group Chairman Cesar Conde. "Through NBCU Academy, we have the opportunity to
widen our extraordinary legacy by building on-ramps for a talented generation of journalists and storytellers who
—for so long—may have been overlooked."

NBCU Academy will invest a total of $6.5 million to the initiative, including scholarships worth $3.5 million over
the next two years. In addition to providing equipment and collaborating with professors to develop seminar
courses, NBCU News Group journalists, executives and management from editorial and production teams across
NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC and Telemundo will participate as guest lecturers to provide real-world insight and
mentorship.

Academic partners include:

    •   Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York, NY
    •   California State University, Fullerton in Fullerton, CA
    •   Claflin University in Orangeburg, SC

 NBCU Academy builds on the foundation of NBC University, which NBC News launched nearly a decade ago as a
 training program for young journalism professionals at diversity journalism conferences and conventions,
 including at the Asian American Journalists Association, The National Association of Black Journalists,
 The National Association of Hispanic Journalists, The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, Native
 American Journalists Association, the Online News Association and many more. NBCU Academy is an expansion
 of that initiative, offering new institutional partnerships.

 In June 2020, Comcast NBCUniversal announced a multi-year $100 million commitment to help address systemic
 racism and inequality. NBCU Academy is part of that pledge and focuses on providing tools, resources, and
 platforms for young, underrepresented voices. In July 2020, NBCU News Group announced the Fifty Percent
 Challenge Initiative, an aggressive action plan to turn the NBCU News Group employee base to be 50% women
 and 50% people of color.

On the night of November 14, 2018, I was at LAX when my phone rang. Programmer Dilcia Barrera was
calling to say that The Infiltrators (http://www.infiltratorsfilm.comistream-the-infiltrators/) would
premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. It was a deep thrill. Cristina Ibarra and I had been
working on our documentary for almost eight years and the call guaranteed, at a basic level, that The
Infiltrators would be seen. Like all filmmakers, our goal was always to make a story visible. With this
particular film, we believed that visibility might even make the difference between freedom and
deportation, perhaps between life and death—but we never imagined that impact would occur,
suddenly, just three months later.

I'm a filmmaker from a family that is, on one side, recently-arrived immigrants. Some are documented,
some are undocumented. When I started to make experimental videos in the mid-1990s, I decided to
focus on immigration. Over the years, as I produced documentaries, fiction and even music videos
about immigration, I saw the border wall grow, the detention system expand, and deportations hit
record numbers. By 2010, I was wondering: Will the always-expanding immigration enforcement
system ever be challenged?

The question of social change and immigration enforcement is a complex one because the deepest
stakeholders—undocumented immigrants —face the specter of being "disappeared" through
https://www.documentary.org/online-feature/power-and-visibility-unfinished-story-infiltrators                                                    2/7

deportation if they encounter the government. How can a community organize and build power, when
being unseen is the key to safety?

The breakthrough occurred in 2010, when a wave of activism around the Dream Act was led by
undocumented youth—the "Dreamers." Young immigrants, echoing language of the LGBTQ movement,
"came out," declared their status in public, and launched a massive lobbying effort aimed at the
Democrat-controlled Congress, where the Dream Act was being considered. Some of those early
activists were detained (https://www.metrowestdailynews.comjarticle/20111002./NEWS/31 0029707),
but still, the movement grew. Their slogan "Undocumented, Unafraid!" was chanted in public,
collectively, fiercely, in actions across the country.

When the Dream Act failed in the Senate, the activists escalated. Groups of undocumented youth got
arrested in public protests to force the Obama Administration, in front of cameras, to either deport the
young students, or offer some protection. The cameras were crucial and multiple. The militant actions
were covered on national news (Intps://www.nytimes.eorn/2010/05,/18/us/18dreanthtml), and force-
multiplied on social media. The objective was no longer to pass legislation, but rather to get the
President to use his executive power—his "discretion."

 At this point in the story—when the activists pivoted from seeking legislation to demanding executive
 action—I found myself down the rabbit hole of immigration law. I learned "discretion" is a legal term
 that refers to the decision-making power that all law enforcement officials exercise. For example, police
 typically use their discretion to not investigate the crime of a driver going five miles over the speed
 limit. Immigration enforcement sits under the Executive Branch, and the President has tremendous
 discretion to set priorities. With roughly 12 million undocumented people living in the United States,
 who should be deported? Who should be spared? Where should resources be spent, or not?

 During Obama's first three years in office, deportations hit all-time record highs. The President said,
 time and again, that he didn't have a "magic wand" (https://www-VOX.Com/2014/12/2/7321607/9barna-
 immigration-flip:flop) to protect immigrants—only Congress could do that. However, after the massive,
 multi-year pressure campaign led by radical undocumented youth, Obama found the magic wand and
 2012 announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. The DACA victory was an
 incredible event in American history, a moment in which stateless people became profoundly visible
 and made concrete political gains.

 The strategy of confrontational, high-stakes visibility was what Cristina Ibarra and I wanted to
 document and amplify with The Infiltrators. Putting the story of immigrant power-building on the big
 screen seemed even more urgent—possibly a matter of life and death—because, by the time The
 Infiltrators was set to premiere at Sundance in 2019, we were living under the Trump Administration.

 On the afternoon of February 27, 2019, a few weeks after our premiere, the phone rang. It was Claudio
 Rojas' wife, and she was terrified.

 Claudio Rojas is a father of two from Argentina, and one of the undocumented immigrant leaders we
 featured in our film. When Claudio was detained by ICE agents back in 2012, he started a wave of
 organizing inside the Broward County Detention Center. The campaign would be joined by radical
 Dreamers who "infiltrated" the detention center to work with him. The extraordinary organizing effort,
 launched from inside the center, would ultimately free many detainees and become the subject of our
 film. Since 2012, Claudio had been free, living with his family in Florida, and speaking to journalists
 occasionally, including reporters from This American Life
 (httpsiliwww.thisairnericanlife.org/498/transcript).

 Claudio had also, over the years, been checking in with ICE and working to fix his immigration status.
 According to his lawyers, he was making progress. When his wife called, we expected to discuss
 arrangements for the Rojas family to attend The Infiltrators screening at the upcoming Miami Film
 Festival. Instead, she said, "Claudio went into his ICE check-in...He didn't come out." Apparently, ICE
 was suddenly rushing to deport him. Instead of attending the red-carpet screening, Claudio was on a
 cot in the overcrowded Krome Detention Center in south Florida. I felt terrified, nauseous, worried for
 him and his family. Everything we hoped to achieve was suddenly upside-down.

 By all appearances, Claudio's detention was retaliation by ICE for telling his story through our film.
 ICE was aware of Claudio's connection to the film because, with all of our consent, Sundance had
https://www.documentary.org/online-feature/power-and-visibility-unfinished-story-infiltrators                                                  4/7
2/1/2021                             Power and Visibility: The Unfinished Story of 'The Infiltrators' I International Documentary Association

written a letter to ICE a few months earlier, asking them to waive certain travel restrictions so Claudio
could attend the Park City premiere. ICE didn't grant the permission. Claudio's name also appeared in
press coverage critical of ICE, immediately following the premiere. When Cristina visited Claudio in
detention, he reported that agents told him he was being detained "on orders from someone high up."

After 20 years in this country, Claudio was deported
(https://Apnews.com/article/9e6b94575f174c5487d83535cc2a783d) on April 5, 2019. He would never
attend a screening of The Infiltrators in the United States, or participate in person in any post-screening
discussions here.

As we worked through this crisis, we learned that a pattern was emerging: ICE was specifically
targeting immigrant rights leaders, whistleblowers and activists across the country. It seemed that, far
from offering safety, visibility in the Trump years put an immigrant in ICE's crosshairs. The pattern of
retribution is now well documented (https://theintercept.com/2020/11/01/ice-immigration-activists-
mapn.

I've heard people say, "What do you think is going to happen, if an undocumented immigrant makes
themselves visible?" That assertion overlooks a key detail: law enforcement cannot use their power of
discretion in illegal ways. A police officer cannot allow everyone to drive five miles over the speed limit,
except the woman organizing a protest. If a law enforcement agency uses their discretion to punish
someone for speaking out, that enforcement action itself is illegal.

Federal courts are currently hearing arguments that ICE, by specifically targeting their critics, violated
the First Amendment (https://justfutureslaw.org/wp-conten            oads/2020/10/10-0 8
2020.NWDC .MTV__.decision.pdf). A few undocumented activists, like Ravi Ragbir of the New
Sanctuary Coalition in New York, have had their deportations stopped by courts on First Amendment
grounds (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/27/opinionisunday/ice-deporta lion -activists.html). This
is a new and developing area of the law, but the principle is clear: No one—citizen or not—can be
targeted by law enforcement as a consequence of speech. An immigrant cannot be "rushed to the front
of the line" for deportation because they said something ICE does not like.

While the pain of Claudio's deportation is obviously being felt most profoundly by the Rojas family, it's
important for the documentary film community to know: This is an attack on all of us. Since this crisis
began, Cristina and I have been contacted by multiple filmmakers who are producing films with
undocumented folks, asking about whether or not they should proceed with their projects. The attack
was clearly intended to create a chilling effect on immigrant speech, and on the work of journalists and
documentarians who might want to make immigrant stories visible.

 Alex Rivera

Through the process of making The Infiltrators, Claudio had become our friend. In true low-budget film
form, while he was advising us on the re-creations we produced, we crashed in the same house, and
Claudio attended our daughter's fourth birthday party. Watching his family be torn apart, up close,
hour-by-hour, felt like watching a taxpayer-funded kidnapping. Reckoning with the possibility that we
made a film about fighting deportations that triggered a deportation felt like being trapped in a Charlie
Kaufman version of Trump's Immigration Enforcement Hellscape. I have felt guilty and stupid, and I
have regrets. I try to fight all of that with the simple analysis I learned from the activists: There is no
power without visibility. And in that spirit, there is no going back.

 Activists and attorneys are pressuring the Biden Administration to end retribution by ICE.
 Documentarians and journalists are natural allies for this cause, which sits at the nexus of immigration
 enforcement and the First Amendment. We're asking the documentary community to sign _petition to
 the Biden Administration (https://www.documentaryorg/advocacy/letter-president-biden-end-ice-
 retribution), making two simple demands:

 Prevent ICE from targeting immigrants who speak out, and 2) Create a pathway to bring victims of this
 illegal retribution, including Claudio Rojas, back home to their families and communities in the United
 States.

https://www.documentary.org/online-feature/power-and-visibility-unfinished-story-infiltrators                                                   6/7
2/1/2021                             Power and Visibility: The Unfinished Story of 'The Infiltrators' I International Documentary Association

The second point is crucial: To undo any "chilling effect" on immigrant speech, those who were
deported for speaking out must be brought back home.

The central question every documentarian always faces is, What to make visible? In the past,
journalists and filmmakers would often blur out faces of undocumented immigrants, or only show their
hands as they spoke. With The Infiltrators, Cristina and I decided to go the exact opposite direction and,
like the activists themselves, pursue radical visibility. That was a risk, and, for now, it did not work out
the way we hoped. Our film is now one of the over 1poo documented cases of ICE retribution
(http://yvvvvv.immigrantrightsvoices.org). But the battle over visibility and safety is not over. We have a
chance to make demands of a new Administration, to give the story of The Infiltrators a better ending,
and to guarantee that immigrants and their stories have the right to be visible.

    Trueba and Oscar-nominated filmmakers Agnieszka Holland and Majid Majidi, among others.

   So Excited!"

   Varietywill continue its multi-year partnership with the Miami Film Festival through its 93rd
   Academy Awards Intl. Feature Shortlist Roundtable. The virtual panel, which will feature the director,
   writer or producer of the Oscars shortlisted international feature films, will be moderated by film
   awards editor Clayton Davis and debut March 5.
   "El Olvido Que Seremos," Colombia's submission, spotlights the real-life story of Dr. Hector Abad
   Gomez, a medical doctor and human-rights activist who worked to revolutionize health care access in
   the country before his death in 1987. The film is directed by Trueba, who won the festival's audience
   award in 2001.

   In addition to Colombia's entry, the 2021 Miami Film Festival will present six additional international
   feature film Oscar contenders from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Dominican
   Republic, Germany, Greece and Iran.

   Bosnia and Herzegovina's "Quo Vadis, Aida?" presents a moving account of one of the most infamous
   genocides in modern history, as seen through the eyes of a U.N. translator, Aida (Jasna Duriele), who
   shelters her family and community in a U.N. camp when Bosnian Serbian forces take over their small
   town of Srebrenica in 1995. Written and directed by Jasmila Zbanie, the film has already garnered top
   awards at ceremonies such as the Jerusalem Film Festival and Les Arcs European Film Festival.

   Czech Republic's entry, "Charlatan," directed by Holland, is a historical drama about the real life of
   Jan Mikold§ek, a skilled natural healthcare practitioner whose unorthodox methods are unwelcome to
   the 1950s totalitarian regime. Directed from a screenplay by Marek Epstein, the film played at Berlin
   and Camerimage festivals and garnered a European Film Award nomination.

   The Dominican Republic's "Mis 500 Locos," set during Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship, follows a new
   mental hospital's director bid to calm the negative press following the escape of a group of patients.
   Directed by Leticia Tonos based on a novel by Antonio Zaglul, the film stars Jane Santos, Luis Jose
    German, and Pavel Marcano.

    Germany's entry "And Tomorrow the Entire World" centers on Luisa (Mala Emde), a law student from
    an upper-class family, who joins an anti-fascist movement to oppose the modern rise of the political
    right in Germany. The semi-autobiographical political drama, written, produced and directed by Julia
    von Heinz, won the Silver Hugo for ensemble at the Chicago Intl. Film Festival and competed at the
    Venice Film Festival.

    "Apples," the Greek entry, is a sci-fi tale about a pandemic that causes sudden and irreversible
    amnesia. Middle-aged Aris finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed
    patients build new identities. Written, produced and directed by Christos Nikou, the film has won
    international prizes such as the New Waves Award for film at the Seville European Film Festival.

     The dream was always the same.
     When Nayib Estefan and his wife Lara moved back to Miami in 2012 after 10 years
     in Los Angeles to raise their newborn son, he missed the repertory theaters in

   Hollywood where he had been able to watch cult movies he loved — "The Texas
   Chainsaw Massacre," John Waters comedies, Lamberto Bava's "Demons" —
   projected on the big screen on 35mm film.
   "I had only seen those movies on VHS, and I couldn't believe how great they
   looked," Estefan said. "When I moved back, my plan was to open a drive-in,
   because there was no midnight or cult movie scene in Miami. Also how is it that no
   one had done a drive-in in Miami, which has year-round drive-in weather?"

    A decade later, Estefan has achieved his dream. The Nite Owl Drive-In Theater,
    located at 1400 NE First Ave., Miami, 33132 , has been operating for nearly a
    month during a soft 60-day opening. City of Miami commissioners will meet on
    March 11 to give the theater final approval.

     years ago. MATIAS J. OCNER MOCNER@MIAMIHERALD.COM

   The drive-in, located on a 60,000-square-foot lot owned by his parents Gloria and
   Emilio, screens two movies per night, from family films ("The Wizard of Oz") to
   teen comedies ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off") to box-office hits (Tim Burton's
   "Batman") to horror classics (1977's "Suspiria").

   This weekend, the cinema has its biggest line-up to date, with screenings of "The
   Lion King," "Jurassic Park," "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie," "Akira," "Tenet" and the
   Wachowskis' live-action adaptation of "Speed Racer." Early next week: "The
   Silence of the Lambs" and "Vertigo."

   The $750,000 drive-in was made possible by grants and assistance from the Knight
   Foundation, the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, the Miami-Dade College
   Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Media Archives Center, Zoo Miami and Fairchild
   Tropical Garden. The theater houses 70 cars and features a 53-foot screen capable
   of withstanding a Category 5 hurricane and a 4K laser projector housed inside a
   retrofitted Airstream trailer.

   The sound is pumped through FM radio, so there's no noise to bother the residents
   of the condo and apartment skyscrapers surrounding the theater.

   Tickets are $19.95 for a car with two people and an additional $10 per person, but
   admission comes with a $20 voucher for the cinema's concession stand, which
   sells everything from Materva to gourmet popcorn to marshmallow fritters.
   Snacks are ordered through the theater's website, www.niteowldrivein.com, and
   delivered to your car by masked wait staff.

    Even restroom breaks require a concierge, to ensure you wear a mask outside
    your car.
    Planned for the near future: On weekends during the day, the drive-in will become
    a drive-through farmers' market, with locally grown fruits and vegetables
    delivered to your car.
    The Nite Owl arrives with perfect timing, since it eliminates all of the COVID-
    related fears that have kept audiences away from movie theaters. It also offers
    something no other drive-in can: a live backdrop of glittering downtown Miami,
    where you never know what you might see on a balcony or through an open
    window.

    "One of the coolest things about it is that there's planes flying over and then it's
    like this backdrop of buildings," said Jorge Moreno, who attended a screening of
    "Suspiria" at the drive-in last week. "You're in downtown Miami, the screen looks
    amazing. You can't probably do this in many parts of the world."

    A DRIVE-IN MECCA
    Although Miami-Dade was a drive-in mecca from the 1950s to the '70s, the theaters
    had disappeared altogether when Estefan returned from Los Angeles, done in by
    multiplexes and home video rentals. In Broward, only the Swap Shop and
    Thunderbird Drive-In remained standing (still open today).

     So Estefan began to explore the possibility and reached out to city officials about
     using a vacant plot of land in downtown Miami owned by his parents, Gloria and
     Emilio, as the location.
     Those conversations fizzled, but Estefan found other outlets for his desire to
     screen movies for the public. He began his unofficial career in film exhibition in

   the back room of the Wynwood bar Gramps, in a room styled after the Black
   Lodge in "Twin Peaks."

   A year later, he launched a midnight film series at the Coral Gables Art Cinema,
   screening everything from "2001: A Space Odyssey" to the gender-bending musical
   "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" with its composer and singer in attendance.

    The screenings grew so popular that in 2016 he relocated to 0 Cinema Miami
    Beach, expanding his audience capacity from 140 to 304 seats. As his following
    grew, Estefan struck out on his own with the Nite Owl Theater, a repertory house
    with stand-alone locations in the Design District, the Goodlet Park Theater in
    Hialeah and most recently the Firebird Theater inside the former Macy's store in
    downtown Miami.

   He had just signed a five-year lease for a storefront location in Little Haiti when
   the COVID pandemic shut everything down — including his former plans for the
   new theater.
   "I'm still paying the lease, but a micro-cinema doesn't go well together with
   COVID," Estefan said. "I had already lined it up to do beer and wine. It was going to
   be my own space with my own lease without being at the whim of someone else."

    But that stroke of bad luck resulted in Estefan being able to create the drive-in he
    had always wanted.

    "I think this is what I was born to do," he said. "All the experience I got at indoor
    venues prepared me for the drive-in. All the relationships I created with the
    studios are paying off now. And because of the pine nugget mulch we used to
    cover the entire lot, it smells like a Christmas village.

    "The whole journey reminds me of 'Twin Peaks,"' he said. "We went from the
    Black Lodge [at Gramps] to the forest. And there are even owls living in some of
     the 150-year-old trees on the site."

 The Oscar-winning studio behind "Parasite" broke the ice at the 2021 virtual Sundance Film Festival sales market.

 The indie company has acquired the documentary "Flee," also an official selection of Cannes 2020, in a competitive situation
 after the movie's Thursday premiere. The doc went for roughly $1 million, individuals familiar with the deal said. Jeff
 Deutchman negotiated the deal for NEON with 30WEST and Philippa Kowarsky of Cinephil on behalf of the filmmakers.
 International sales are being handled by Cinephil.

"So excited to partner up with NEON for the North America distribution, being such an innovative and bold company we feel
they can secure a broad distribution across the U.S.," said Monica HeIlstrom and Signe Byrge Sorensen of Final Cut for Real.

"Very excited to work with groundbreaking distributors NEON on getting FLEE out. Their roster of titles include a vast amount
 of my favorite films from the last couple of years and I'm extremely proud to now include my own work on that list," said

 Rasmussen.

 Ahmed said "I was floored by the emotional impact of Flee. This is a unique project that pushes forward our ideas of what
 documentary, animation, and refugee-centred narratives can be. I'm proud to help bring this project to life for English

 speaking audiences."

 Coster-Waldau added he was "blown away by the power of a story told in a simple way. 'Flee' is a story of extreme
 perseverance and hope where all hope seems lost."

 Rasmussen and Amin Nawabi served as writers. The film was edited by Janus Billeskov Jansen ("The Act of Killing ," "Strong
 Island," and current awards contender "Another Round").

   (Ahmed) who begins to lose his hearing. The film also stars Olivia Wilde, Paul Raci, Mathieu Amalric
   and Lauren Ridloff.

   "We selected Riz for this distinguished honor for his incisive, brilliant performance in 'Sound of
   Metal' and what it has meant for the Recovery community within the Deaf community, which is often
   invisible in our society," says Miami Film Festival Executive Director Jaie Laplante.

       SANTA FE COLLEGE SOFTBALL TO BEGIN ITS SEASON THIS WEEKEND
       £ Monica Exantus 0 January 29, 2021 le Santa Fe, Softball @ 23 Views

       If there is one thing that Santa Fe College Softball's head coach, Lindsay Fico, wants, it is to close a game

       out.

       Fico said the team does a great job in starting its game strong, but midway to the game, the team slacks.

       She thinks that the reason that happens is that in the middle of the game, the team thinks they have the

       game put away and let their guard down.

       This season, the team is looking forward to ending the game as quickly as possible and scoring as much as

       possible.

       They might have the chance to do it this week. Santa Fe College softball travels to Clearwater to play

       Florida Southwestern State College (FSSC). Later that day, the Saints face off Miami Dade College to kick

       off the Juco Tournament. Finally, the Saints play their last game of the day against St. Petersburg College.

       Before the season was stopped, the Saints played 30 games averaging a .533 win percentage. This

       season, the team is looking forward to coming back very powerfully.

        Saints' team this season
       The Saints' roster is a mixture of new faces and a handful of returning athletes. What makes the team so

        special, this season fans will see many local faces that they are familiar with. Among them are:

      Fico explains how important it is to have this flavor.

      The Saints' defensive circle has been a work in progress. The team improved their fielding percentage last

      year. This season, the Saints expect to continue the work they started last year. This year, Taylor Barrett will

      be carrying their load. According to Fico, Barrett is really hard to figure out.

       Saint's season
       The Saints had a double header exhibition against Flagler College last Thursday. However, their season

       opens up this Saturday against the national no.1 FSSC. They will have their home opening games against

       Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Tuesday, Feb 2.
