Angela Soto's film, "Vicenta," has been accepted into the Women and
Creativity Film Festival 2008.
The festival is sponsored by the Harwood Art Center and the National
Hispanic Cultural Center in
Albuquerque, New Mexico and will take place Friday March 14 from 6-9
pm and
Saturday March 15 from 11:30am-9pm in the Roy E. Disney Center for
Performing Arts
at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, in Albuquerque.
Vicenta is 8-minute documentary about Angela's mom, Vicenta Soto, who
was one of Tucson's pioneers.
It's a story about a woman's struggle of survival. She was raised on
a ranch, was a seamstress, married,
had children and later left her husband and was a single parent in an
era that didn't allow it.
Angela captured footage that brings the old pictures to life in a new
way of doing documentaries. Her
sister, Norma Soto and her band, Gritos Y Palabras, play a song at
the end.
"I think my mom's story is very similar to many and that's why it
captures people's heart," she said in
a press release.
"Vicenta" is also available on DVD by contacting Pan Left.
