Raza Cósmica: A constellation of Latinx sci-fi cinema returns to Cassiano Park with a free community screening of Blue Beetle.

An alien scarab chooses Jaime Reyes to be its symbiotic host, bestowing the recent college graduate with a suit of armor that's capable of extraordinary powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the superhero known as Blue Beetle. Preceded by Lupe Q and the Galactic Corn Cake by Javier Badillo.
