Experimental Tuesdays: The Dells by Nellie Kluz

Experimental Tuesdays: The Dells by Nellie Kluz
Join filmmaker Nellie Kluz in-person for a Q&A after the screening of The Dells. This film observes the clash between fantasy and reality faced by international student workers newly arrived in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin – the self-described “Waterpark Capital of the World.” Coming from countries like Turkey, Romania, Jamaica, Thailand, and the Dominican Republic, these students land in the American Midwest via the State Department’s Summer Work Travel program. Issued temporary J-1 visas, they work low-paying jobs as lifeguards, housekeepers, and servers, living in dormitories tucked behind a glut of tourist attractions.
