Del Zamora (writer, director, and producer) joins moderator Ben Olguín (English, UCSB) in a post-screening discussion of The Last Brown Beret, an adaptation of a play by Alfredo Ramos that explores Chicanx activism and history in Los Angeles.

Zamora also details the development of the film, the challenges that Latinx filmmakers face, and storytelling choices in the film’s structure and characterization.
