Hosted by Ted Benito |
|
The Apl.de.ap Foundation International presents a special fundraising screening of "Yellow Rose", a film by Diane Paragas.
Synopsis: Rose, an undocumented 17 year old Filipina, dreams of one day leaving her small Texas town to pursue her country music dreams. Her world is shattered when her mom suddenly gets picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Rose, facing this new realty, is forced to flee the scene, leaving behind the only life she knows, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she searches for a new home in the honky tonk world of Austin, Texas.
—Cecilia Mejia
Featuring Tony Award winner Lea Salonga, country star Dale Watson, Gustavo Gomez ("The Walking Dead"), Princess Punzalan and two-time Tony nominee Eva Noblezada in her feature film debut.
The film has already won the Grand Jury Award at three prestigious film festivals, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, the Bentonville Film Festival and the CAAMFest37.
This special screening is happening in conjunction with the National Empowerment Conference (NEC) of NAFFAA, the National Federation of Filipino American Associations, which is holding their 3-day conference in Carson this year.
The film will be preceded by a special presentation from NAFFAA who will be awarding their Trailblazer Award to Apl.de.ap, multi-Grammy award founding member of the hip hop group, The Black Eyed Peas.
A discussion with Producer Rey Cuerdo, Director Diane Paragas and actress Princess Punzalan will occur immediately after the screening.
