Join us for this humorous and heartfelt film that captures the resilience and spirit of rural communities fighting to maintain their way of life.
This classic film produced by Robert Redford and Moctesuma Esparza tells the story of a community of mainly Latino farmers and their conflict over water rights in the small, fictional town of Milagro, New Mexico. Combining elements of comedy, drama, and social commentary, the film explores themes of community, resistance, and the tension between tradition and progress.
The Chicano Resource Center (CRC) was established in 1976 to serve the information needs of the Mexican-American (Chicano) community and to make information about the history and culture of this group available to the general public. The Chicano Resource Center is located in East Los Angeles Library.
