Amanecer People’s Project, in collaboration with Working Films, presents the Esperanza Film Series with a mission: to build a base of engaged teachers and parents within Socorro ISD and extend our work into the heart of the Lower Valley.
Through this series, we’re laying the groundwork for something bigger: long-term, resident-led campaigns focused on environmental justice, water protection, and land preservation. We’re mobilizing educators and giving both teachers and students the space to plan and launch their own campaigns rooted in their lived experiences.
Join us! Watch, learn, and help shape the future of Socorro and beyond.
