Join Boricuas Unidos en la Diáspora (BUDPR) for a special screening of Mataron a Pedro, Kristian Mercado's evocative short film about legendary Puerto Rican independence leader Pedro Albizu Campos. The film, which premiered at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival earlier this year, will be followed by a panel with the director and producer. We will also host a reception before the film with beverages and light refreshments.
Due to overwhelming demand, we are offering three screenings of this short film in the same evening. Doors will open at 5:30PM. We will provide light refreshments and there will be beverages available for purchase. The panel with director Kristian Mercado will take place after the 6:45 screening, but the audience for any screening time can stay and enjoy the panel!
