VIRTUAL MAYSLES CINEMA: MY NAME IS PEDRO

My Name is Pedro streaming via Maysles Cinema from September 17th to September 30th.  First time director, Lillian LaSalle's award-winning, powerful documentary, My Name is Pedro, explores what public education meant to South Bronx Latino maverick educator, Pedro Santana, and what he, in turn, meant to public education. The film is also especially timely in this moment of national reckoning since the murder of George Floyd, subsequent protests and high attention being paid to public school parity.  More details and online viewing tickets at the Maysles Cinema site: LINK
