Project
GRAD programs: Juanita's
Diary: Stage DVD
RAIDERS ROJOS presents
the stage production of Juanita’s
Diary for the first time on DVD. Follow young Juanita Garcia as
she travels with her family following the crops. See the struggles
of the migrant families in the 1960’s and learn the social,
economic, political and educational atmosphere of the time. You
will cry with them as working conditions present a series of obstacles
to overcome. You will hold your breath in worry and remembrance
as they send loved ones off to war. You will be inspired by their
abundance of faith and optimism despite the odds. The historical
references and Hispanic culture provide a dynamic background for
the journey of Juanita from a young field worker to a college graduate
and teacher. It is an inspiring message of hope, perseverance,
acceptance, and diversity.
