UVALDE MOMDir. Anayansi Prado Documentary, 88 min., 2024, United States
Purchase your tickets for the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center's CineFestival, the longest-running Latino film festival in the United States. The festival will open with the San Antonio premiere of Uvalde Mom, which is co-presented with MACRI.
The film tells the multilayered story of Angeli Rose Gomez, a farm worker and mother, whose sons attended Robb Elementary School during one of the deadliest mass shootings of children in American history. This is no story of perfect people and perfect actions. Instead, it is a heartbreaking story of a faulty system with a vast web of loss and unanswered questions.
