Photographs and historic footage guide viewers through seven decades of Mexican American history and Mexican American music, from cha-chas to rancheras, boleros to boogie. Lalo Guerrero talks about his life with warmth and humor, and artists and activists who knew him share their personal stories. A Q&A session with the producer will follow the screening.
