Executive Producer Eva Longoria at the Q&A for LA Premier of THE HARVEST/LA COSECHA - playing at the Laemmle Theater in Los Angeles starting August 5th
Executive Producer Eva Longoria attended the LA premier of the documentary THE HARVEST/LA COSECHA with Executive Producers Albie Hecht and Susan MacLaury of Shine Global and Director U. Roberto Romano who all participated in the post-screening Q&A.
The standing room only screening was attended by representatives from national organizations such as NCLR (National Council on La Raza), MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund) and the UFW (United Farmworkers),among other organizations that support the film.
Also in the audience were a group of one hundred students, aged 15 – 17, who attended the screening as members of the Migrant Scholars Leadership Institute at UCLA. Many of these youth have worked in the fields themselves and acknowledged the honesty of the film as it related to their experiences.
The film, distributed by Cinema Libre Studio, opens Friday August 5, at Laemmle’s Music Hall (9036 Wilshire Blvd, www.laemmle.com). Producers MacLaury and Hecht will be participating in a Q&A following the 7:10pm show on Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6. More information is available at: www.theharvestfilm.com
