AMERICAN PACHUCO: THE LEGEND OF LUIS VALDEZ Screening

AMERICAN PACHUCO: THE LEGEND OF LUIS VALDEZ comes to The Beverly Theater in Las Vegas for one night only, Friday, August 29. The Sundance audience favorite tells the story of Luis Valdez, the man who built El Teatro Campesino out of the fields of California and turned the figure of the pachuco and the history of the Zoot Suit Riots into influential American stage art. Narrated by Edward James Olmos in character as El Pachuco, featuring Dolores Huerta. It began on a flatbed truck at the Delano picket lines, with farmworkers performing their own strike, and grew into a movement that reshaped American culture. A Mexican American story on the big screen, for one night, in the heart of downtown Las Vegas.  The Beverly Theater #AmericanPachuco #LuisValdez #ZootSuit #ChicanoCinema #LasVegas #DTLV
