A revisionist western set in turn-of-the-last-century Texas and directed by Robert M.

Young\u2019s film breathes life into a legendary episode of immigrant resistance to nativist bullying.\u00a0 “The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez” was restored in 2016 by the Academy Film Archive and the project was supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.<\/p>\n

Producer Michael Hausman, production designer Stuart Wurtzel and costume designer Hilary Rosenfeld will be in attendance for a post-screening Q & A moderated by film journalist Joe Neumaier.<\/p>\n
