As part of the activities programmed for our Cultural Diversity Month, at Fundación Tres Culturas we have prepared a film series that highlights the value of difference and everything that helps us to understand the value of diversity, promoting peaceful and enriching coexistence.
Therefore, the cycle Diversity is cinema will take viewers from the Gran Chaco Americano to Afghanistan, passing through other countries that will reveal different experiences and visions.
