Repost from herdzmedia Zoot Suit Cultura in Full Swing! On August 3rd, the spirit of the Pachuco came alive in Anaheim at our special screening of Zoot Suit. From legendary guest Daniel Valdez (Henry Reyna) to live music by Adelaide Pilar, the energy was unforgettable. The community showed up in style, zoot suits, dancing, autographs, and pure orgullo (pride)! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our history, our culture, and our legacy. This is more than a movie it’s a movement. Elpa
