The Video Association of Dallas will sponsor a free screening of the documentary Children of Giant at the Latino Cultural Arts Center to kick off Hispanic Heratige Month.
Children of Giant unearths deeply wrought emotions surrounding de-facto segregation of Anglos and Mexican Americans in the small West Texas town of Marfa, before, during and after the month-long production of George Stevens' 1956 Hollywood film, Giant. Filmmaker Hector Galan weaves clips from the feature film with the voices of the Mexican American and Anglo townspeople, cast and crew who experienced this unique conjunction of art and life in the summer of 1955. Director in Attendance.
What: Children of Giant FREE screening
When: Tuesday, September 2015 from 6-9pm CST
