Award-winning director, Jorge Xolalpa Jr will host a virtual screening of his groundbreaking film, Your Iron Lady on Friday, February 5th at 5 pm PT via YouTube.
A year in the life of Teresa: an immigrant mother of four who after being married for 22 years, decides to leave her abusive husband upon her arrival to the U.S., in 1998.
Your Iron Lady is a story of resilience, strength, and overcoming obstacles. The film may not have been nominated for a Golden Globe, but it has made an impact in the movie industry. It’s evident that Latinos are still being underrepresented in Hollywood, but Xolalpa is now a pioneer in making a difference.
Xolalpa’s forthcoming film MELANCOLíA starring Alessandra Rosaldo, Plutarco Haza, and Laura Flores tackles gun control, an issue that has been at the center of controversy for years. Get ready, the name Xolalpa will be making headlines for years to come.
