Sobrevivir by Juan Escobedo (10 min version)

Sobrevivir, a film by Juan Escobedo and art work by Phung Huynh.
In 2018, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors issued a public apology to more than 200 mothers of Mexican descent who were forcefully sterilized at the Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center between 1968 - 1974. To publicly express this apology, the LA County Department of Arts and Culture commissioned Phung Huynh to create a permanent outdoor sculpture honoring the resilience of the survivors and to remember the histories of women whose narratives have been historically repressed. The name of the artwork is Sobrevivir, which translates to survive, to keep alive.
