Description

Nominated for an Academy Award, Vasquez's documentary provides a glimpse into the life of a 77-year old woman whose name provides apart of the title. Agueda Martinez's remarkable story follows the cycles of life and comes to represent the historical presence of Latinas in the Southwest. The film will be presented in its original Spanish version without the English voiceover.
