CELIA CRUZ

I thought to bring out what a Hispanic family could have gone through during the beginning of the 19^th century. I feel that not only where black and whites affected by the changes that World War I brought about but it involved more then our history books tells us. The way people lived, how they were treated and the way they are remembered. History to me is not a turning point, it’s documentation of all the mistakes that we as a people have made. We have moved forward, but we still are taking baby steps.

My screenplay is completely fiction, the only accounts are those of actual world events such as World War I and the Trangle Waist Fire of 1911. Both events tie into the misery of an old woman struggle to bring up her granddaughter in world that hold no meaning for women as of yet. But the struggle goes on.QUE BONITA BANDERA
