Streaming live on ImmDef.org – no replay, no recording, don’t miss it!

​Get ready to experience the hit comedy Superbad like you’ve never seen it before—reimagined and read by an all-star cast of Immigrants and Children of Immigrants. For one afternoon only, join us for a hilarious live read of this beloved movie, directed by Marvin Lemus (Gentefied) and produced alongside Gloria Calderón Kellett (One Day at a Time).

With the official blessing from Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Judd Apatow, we’ve put together an incredible cast for this livestream event. We’re kicking things off with Hasan Minhaj, Cobie Smulders, Melissa Fumero, George Lopez, Chris Estrada, and Harvey Guillen. 

This live read will stream for free on YouTube, embedded right here on ImmDef’s site, so you can join from anywhere. And because of SAG rules, there will be no recording, no replay—you’ve got one shot to see it live!
 
Why We’re Doing It
We could all use a laugh right now. Superbad is the movie Marvin Lemus puts on every time he needs a guaranteed pick-me-up, and this event is our way of sharing that joy while raising critical funds for ImmDef’s Bond Fund. 

Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping immigrants fight detention and deportation—getting people out of ICE detention centers and reuniting them with their families.
