Blending music, theater, and storytelling, the film explores identity, injustice, and community through the lens of a pivotal moment in American history. Directed by Luis Valdez and starring Daniel Valdez and Edward James Olmos, Zoot Suit remains as urgent and electrifying today as when it first premiered. Daniel Valdez will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening. Co-presented by Chicano Boulevard.Guests are encouraged to wear Zoot Suit era–inspired attire. A photographer will be on-site to capture the fashion, community, and culture on display.
