Las Marthas (Part of the Metamorphosis Film Series)

Dating from the aftermath of the U.S.-Mexico War, the annual colonial-inspired Martha Washington Society debutante ball in Laredo, Texas is unlike any other. Las Marthas follows two Mexican American girls carrying this gilded tradition on their shoulders during a time of economic uncertainty and tension over immigration. Doors will open at 5:30pm. The film will start at 6:00pm. Please RSVP to Charles Gwinn to reserve your seat (cgwinn@alicenter.org).
