The screening of the movies „Perro Bomba“ is followed by a discussion with the researcher Eva Van Belle about discrimination in the labor market, in presence of a representative of the film crew of „No Apologies“ and moderated by Christina Mittmasser and Lisa Marie Borrelli.

Steevens is a young Haitian, leading a simple but stable life in Chile with a job, a house, and friends. With the arrival of his childhood friend Junios, Steeven’s life is turned upside down. After being racially discriminated, Steevens reacts by physically assaulting his employer. The news about the assault goes viral and causes Steevens to be shunned by his community and the state.
