This week KLRN hosted a film screening and panel discussion for the film, Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer’s Journey. The film captures the remarkable life and work of Pedro E. Guerrero (1917-2012). He left behind thousands of photographs and nearly 15 hours of interviews. This film tells, in his words, the remarkable story of a Mexican American boy raised in segregated Mesa, Arizona, who

A Mexican Poet’s Crusade for Justice By Gregg Barrios The work of Mexican writer Javier Sicilia was little known outside of his country although his prize-winning poetry and his fearless work as a political analyst for Proceso, Mexico’s weekly political magazine are must reading. But four years ago, Sicilia came to international attention when his 24-year-old son Juan Francisco became

CHILDREN OF GIANT features the making of GIANT, the 1956 film that took the small West Texas town of Marfa by storm. Film greats Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean, along with a Hollywood cast and crew invaded the town, and recruited locals, landmarks and issues to provide a multicultural landscape that was unseen in film during that time. “It was a revisionist look of Texas,”

When you see a smoky-dark wall snaking over parched hills, the line is clear. On one side is Mexico. On the other is the U.S. But when you start looking at people, things aren’t so clear. They’re scary, painful and even mean. For Arizona rancher Duncan Blair, the tall border wall stops at the edge of his property and becomes a barbed-wire fence with holes snipped long ago, which U.S.

Last week, KLRN experienced problems at our transmitter and within hours, our engineers were assessing the situation and fixing the problems. WHEW!  There were a few hours where we were not broadcasting to our viewers who watch our channels over-the-air. At our studios, our signal strength was restored and all was fine in the world---with the exception of the many viewer e-mails

I love the arts, I just do. I love anything that makes the world more gorgeous than it already is. I see beauty in the things that are simple, elegant, and not even considered “artsy”. I see my kids lining up leaves on the table as art. I see art in the way knick knacks are arranged on a shelf or in the way certain people sign their name. Art is everywhere. When we (at KLRN) were first having

Viewer Review LEMON | an episode in Season 3 VOCES My original intention was to watch the program Lemon with a professional eye. My goal was to pay more attention to the quality of the program from an aesthetic point of view. However that changed in the first few minutes of watching. I found myself almost immediately engrossed in Lemon Andersen's story. I could see him working the streets

It’s said that during the Mexican Revolution, women soldareas rode in circles, kicking up dust to lure federales into traps. These adelitas, or women of the revolution, are the inspiration for Escaramuza, an event added to traditional Mexican charreadas 20 years ago. Charreadas, which are similar to rodeos, evolved from competitions between vaqueros and their haciendas in old Mexico.

Being CFO is not easy. You are the person who always has to say "no". You have to hound people for budgets, pricing, and financials. You have to monitor spending even though you have a team that has to monitor their own spending--because ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Many times, the CFO is the unsung hero, the one who stays behind a closed door balancing a budget, filling out

As a mom, I was never really into parenting books. I barely picked up parenting magazines…I preferred to make my way trying to find solutions for situations that actually plagued me as opposed to looking for situations that may not even exist in my life. That said, I do depend heavily on stories from other mothers on how they raise their kids, what they did well, what they didn’t do well, lessons

As I watched a preview of this program, FINDING YOUR ROOTS, I couldn’t help but think back to my past Christmas holiday.  The best present that I received was from my eighty year old grandfather.  With no help, he created a family photo album — a flip book of old black and white photos — for each of his grandchildren.  And on the back of each photo, he attached a label with a

Growing up I wasn’t really ever introduced to musicals, operas and theater. And now that I’ve had the opportunity to experience a handful, I’m a total fan of live performances and excitedly jump at any chance to attend. It would be a dream of mine to watch live the Phantom of the Opera — the danger, the tragedy, the romance, the mystery and most of all, the magical element! Like many, I try to

Walk down the street and just mention the name Aretha Franklin. You won’t find many who do not recognize the Queen of Soul’s name and don’t be surprised if you come across a few who will even sing some tunes from her collection of hits. PBS definitely knows when it’s just good music, and that’s why Aretha Franklin returns to public television on Thursday, March 15 at 9p. Delight in a festival

Each year many of us make a New Year’s resolution to get healthy, and around this time, many of us tend to forget what we set out to do. The gym classes don’t seem as full, and you may find yourself saying “oh, it’s just one piece of cake”. If you want to get back on track, here’s a clip with excellent tips from Dr. Amen sharing the 7 best types of food to keep your brain young and strong.
