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:“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

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:”The Window on Death Row” free screening
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets Available DAY OF at Box Office \n\n\n\nFRIDAY\, OCTOBER 9 AT 6:30PM\n\n\n\nFREE ADMISSION\n\n\n\nTICKETS AVAILABLE DAY OF AT BOX OFFICE\n\n\n\n“Q&A to follow with: Director Linda Freund\, Kat Glenn (Jutras)\, Executive Director\, Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona and Arizonans for Effective Public Safety\, Sam Kooistra\, Capital Defense Lawyer\, Arizona Capital Representation Project \n\n\n\nWhat if a death sentence gave you a second chance at life? 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
