Gabriel Figueroa began this documentary with master Mexican painter Diego Rivera in the late 1940s, but it wasn’t until recently that the footage saw the light of day, thanks to Figueroa's son and Rivera's grandson. Working from the original footage's intimate portrayal of Rivera, Gabriel Figueroa Flores and Diego Rivera Lopez have crafted a powerful new perspective that explores Rivera the man and the painter as well as the sociopolitical impact of his art in the last stages of the Mexican Revolution. This event includes a Q&A session with filmmaker Figueroa Flores.This film is presented in conjunction with the exhibit "Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting." General Admission: $7 Seniors/Students (with ID): $6
