Over the span of one racing season, the strikingly intimate Backside foregrounds the lives and actions of immigrant workers who look after prized racehorses at Churchill Downs barns in Louisville Kentucky — the site of the famous Kentucky Derby.

Join us for a social hour at the Jengo's Backyard Bar before the film showing at 6:30pm! There will be a community discussion with the filmmaker and community partners after the screening.
