UVALDE MOM
Dir. 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.

SCREENING INFORMATION:
Wednesday, July 9th at 7pm
Jo Long Theater at the Carver Community Cultural Center
226 N. Hackberry San Antonio, TX 78202
Co-Presented with the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute (MACRI)
Tickets available on June 27th at https://guadalupeculturalarts.org/cine-festival/

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: This film deals with a difficult subject matter and may not be suitable for all audiences.

MACRI's programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture, Bexar County, the Mellon Foundation, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, Spurs Give, and individual donors like you! Gracias!
