SUMMARY:“Out There: A National Parks Story” film
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 2:00PM\n\n\n\nREGULAR ADMISSION PRICES\n\n\n\nPASSES ACCEPTED\n\n\n\n“In the centennial year of the National Park Service\, a young filmmaker and his childhood friend set off on a 10\,000-mile road trip through America’s national parks\, leaving home with little more than a camera and a desire to understand what connects people to these wild places. What begins as a summer road trip in search of awe-inspiring landscapes becomes a seven-year odyssey that uncovers the human stories embedded in those wild places. Along the way\, they meet rangers\, conservationists\, and everyday visitors whose lives have been shaped by the parks. Through personal stories of healing\, transformation\, and connection\, a rich tapestry of the national park experience begins to emerge – one that reflects not just the beauty of the land\, but the spirit of the people who love and protect it. Blending stunning cinematography with archival travelogues\, posters\, and maps\, Out There:  A National Parks Story is both a tribute to the enduring legacy of the parks and a call to recognize the human presence that gives them meaning. It invites us to see these places not just as landscapes\, but as living stories\, reflecting on our own role in their preservation. (Dir. by Brendan Hall\, 2024\, USA\, 75 mins.\, Not Rated)” \n\n\n\n1 HR 15 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2024\n\n\n\n\nOut There: A National Parks Story

DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“September 9th from 4 to 6 PM LD 20 is cohosting Mingling liberally with the Democrats of Greater Tucson.   Mingling Liberally combines a short speech by a candidate or noted politician with a chance to meet democrats from across Tucson.   The September event features Nick Mansour who is running for Arizona state Treasurer.   Elected officials from LD 20 have been invited also.   \n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: \n\n\n\nNick Mansour\, AZ State Treasurer \n\n\n\nLD20 candidates: \n\n\n\nSally Ann Gonzales (House) \n\n\n\nBetty Villegas (House) \n\n\n\nPlus more candidates & public officials  The fun part of this event is that it will be in a speakeasy.    For those who remember the old Rincon Market 2515 E Sixth street\, this location has been divided into two restaurants; The Red Bird Scratch Kitchen and the Sonoran House coffee shop.   There is a hidden space that they have converted into a speak easy.    Volunteers are needed to be in the Sonoran House to guide people to the secret door\,  also someone to check people into the event and someone to be at a table with LD 20 information especially information about the LD 20 voter guides and to take donations for the voter guide project.”

From migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist\, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s\, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His Zoot Suitwas the first Chicano play on Broadway. Despite critical rejection that killed the show\, he persevered\, creating La Bamba—a blockbuster breakout film that authentically depicted Mexican American life to the world. Now in its 60th year\, El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations. Featuring Linda Ronstadt\, Lou Diamond Phillips\, Cheech Marin\, Delores Huerta\, and Edward James Olmos. (Dir. by David Alvadaro\, 2026\, USA\, 92 mins.\, Not Rated)” \n\n\n\n1 HR 32 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2026\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez

The Department of Justice is currently locked in a court battle over access to Arizona’s voter registration records\, and the FBI has sought records related to Maricopa County’s 2020 election results. Meanwhile\, polls show that large numbers of Americans worry that noncitizens will participate in the upcoming election and that their votes will not be counted fairly. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly\, Pima County Supervisor Rex Scott and Pima County Elections Office Director Constance Hargrove as they discuss how their offices are preparing for November\, what safeguards are in place to ensure a fair and accurate count\, and how they are thinking about public trust in the electoral process. The event will be moderated by Paul Schuler\, Associate Professor at the University of Arizona. \n\n\n\nA question & answer session will follow the presentations. “
