This Monday Film.Woman.Coffee provokes explicit reflection on foreignness and the gendered and racialized discourses of transnationality.

Self-consciously “global” and dedicated to the exploration of intercultural contrasts and conflicts, the narrative of Babel moves back and forth among the Moroccan desert, San Diego, a small Mexican town near Tijuana, and Tokyo, instilling in its audience escalating feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and “liminal panic”. Lets discuss what message it transmits.
