Documentary focuses on former San Antonio archbishop’s struggles against discrimination – “A Migrant’s Masterpiece: The Life and Legacy of Patrick Flores,” a documentary by Hector Galán
Tagged: documentary, Film, HIV, San Antonio, TexasPosted on: October 8th, 2007“When award-winning independent filmmaker Hector Galán was asked by archdiocesan Director of Communication Pat Rodgers and San Antonio-based theologian Father Virgil Elizondo if he might be interested in doing a documentary on the life of Archbishop Emeritus Patrick F. Flores, he didn’t have to think twice. “I jumped on it, of course!” he said.
It would be a year before funding for the documentary was in place and another two years to complete the one-hour film, which draws in part on rare, archival film footage to recreate the nearly 80-year life span of the first Mexican-American bishop and archbishop in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States.”
