SUMMARY:”American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” film
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nAmerican Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nShowtimes Coming Soon \n\n\n\nSTARTS FRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 4\n\n\n\nREGULAR ADMISSION PRICES\n\n\n\nPASSES NOT ACCEPTED 9/4 – 9/17\n\n\n\nFeaturing director David Alvadaro in person on opening weekend\, details TBA! \n\n\n\n“Against political resistance and industry skepticism\, Luis Valdez pushed Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with Zoot Suit and La Bamba\, crafting iconic works that challenge\, celebrate\, and expand America’s story. 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

SUMMARY:”Blue Carbon” environmental documentary
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 26 AT 2:00PM\n\n\n\nGENERAL ADMISSION: $10\n\n\n\nPASSES NOT ACCEPTED\n\n\n\n“Told through the eyes of Grammy-nominated music producer\, DJ and marine toxicologist\, Jayda Guy\, accompanied by a score from the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and featuring Seu Jorge\, Blue Carbon is an environmental documentary that brings together music and science to uncover why listening to nature\, and to each other\, is key for averting climate catastrophe. \n\n\n\nFilmed in the USA\, Senegal\, Vietnam\, France\, Colombia and Brazil\, the documentary explores the relatively newly-discovered potential of oceans to absorb much more carbon from the atmosphere than even tropical rainforests. This “Blue Carbon” as scientists are now calling it\, can be found in salt-marshes\, sea-grasses and mangroves\, and are becoming increasingly attractive investments for big corporations looking to offset their emissions through carbon credit schemes. This documentary urges us to take stock of nature’s true value by listening to and learning from the communities on the front lines of climate change. \n\n\n\nPunctuated with stunning encounters with the natural world – such as the Florida manatee\, humpback whales and the American crocodile – and uncovering the unlikely\, local communities at the heart of conservation\, the film provides a much-needed ray of hope in troubling times. (Dir. by Nicolas Brown\, 2023\, USA/UK/Germany/France\, 84 mins.\, Not Rated) \n\n\n\nThis is a Community Rental by Tucson Verde Rotary Club.” \n\n\n\n1 HR 24 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2024\n\n\n\n\nBlue Carbon

SUMMARY:Edgar Soto\, candidate for LD 17 Senate at DGT
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheDGT.org Presents Edgar Soto for State Senate in LD17\n\n\n\nOctober 5 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM MST \n\n\n\n“Join us for a timely conversation with Edgar Soto\, the Democratic candidate for State Senate in LD17\, about the state of his race and the sprint to the election on Nov. 3. Edgar will talk about what he’s hearing at the doors\, how Democrats can volunteer\, donate and engage with campaigns\, and answer your questions. Hear from one of the top recruits this cycle less than a month before Election Day! \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for This Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/zjbAmiBrScWDRJUIHU4vsA \n\n\n\nEdgar is running for State Senate because he believes every Arizonan deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. For over 30 years at Pima Community College\, he’s helped students—from first-generation college students to working parents—build better lives through education. He’s seen what works and what doesn’t\, and he’s ready to bring real solutions to the Capitol. His priorities are simple: lower the cost of living\, strengthen public education\, support our veterans\, protect water resources\, and ensure safe\, thriving communities.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Edgar ran for District 3 Pima County Supervisor in August 2024\, came in 2nd in a 4 way Dem race. He is running for the open State Senate seat in LD 17 against political newcomer Chris King (R).

SUMMARY:”The Window on Death Row” free screening

The story of Joaquín José Martínez\, the first Spaniard exonerated from U.S. death row\, challenges our beliefs about justice\, faith\, and forgiveness. \n\n\n\nJoaquín José Martínez\, the first Spaniard ever exonerated from U.S. death row\, was once a supporter of capital punishment until\, at 24\, he was convicted of a double murder in Florida. He spent more than five years behind bars\, three on death row. Two decades after he was exonerated\, Joaquín transforms his personal trauma into public advocacy. The Window on Death Row asks urgent questions: Is there ever an ethical reason to kill someone? Is closure possible for the victims’ families? And how do we reconcile the contradiction that facing a death sentence\, even an unjust one\, can paradoxically lead to a second chance at life? (Dir. by Linda Freund\, 2025\, Spain\, 38 mins.\, Not Rated) \n\n\n\nThis is a Community Rental by Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona and Arizonans for Effective Public Safety.” \n\n\n\n\nThe Window on Death Row

SUMMARY:Free screening of “The River” film
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nTickets Available DAY OF at Box Office \n\n\n\nWEDNESDAY\, OCTOBER 14 AT 6:30PM\n\n\n\nFREE ADMISSION\n\n\n\nTICKETS AVAILABLE DAY OF AT BOX OFFICE\n\n\n\n“Join us for a special screening of The River\, followed by a community Q&A with the filmmakers\, community members\, and participants featured in the film. The event will offer an opportunity to explore the urgent issues surrounding the Colorado River and hear directly from those whose lives\, communities\, and futures are connected to its waters. \n\n\n\nAfter 5 million years of existence\, the Colorado River now fights to survive. This once thriving life source to millions of people and wildlife\, is now on the brink of collapse\, as human consumption\, booming industry\, and climate change threaten to dry up its already depleted reservoirs forever. In a moment of reckoning\, an unlikely ensemble of people dependent on the River must defend their way of life against modern pressures and unjust laws\, all while coming to terms with the choices we’ve made that have led to this disaster and the uncertain future ahead. But this ancient river has always had a life of its own\, and there are still some who will stand up and give it a voice. For if the river can regenerate\, maybe so can we. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screening\, filmmakers will be joined by community members and film participants for a conversation about the film\, the Colorado River\, and the experiences and perspectives that shaped the story. The Q&A will offer an opportunity for audiences to engage directly with the people at the center of this important conversation. (Dir. by Mara Gasbarro Tasker\, 2026\, USA\, 88 mins.\, Not Rated) \n\n\n\nThis is a Community Rental by The River Impact Campaign\, LLC.” \n\n\n\n1 HR 28 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2026
