Mujeres de Manzo Film Project

This feature length documentary film profiles the work of four lifelong activists at the forefront of human rights organizing in Southern Arizona, known collectively as Las Mujeres de Manzo: public defense attorneys Isabel Garcia and Margo Cowan, and professors/historians Guadalupe Castillo and Raquel Rubio-Goldsmith. It is not an overstatement to say that the Mujeres de Manzo have been key contributors to every major social movement in this region since the 1970s. Yet their names remain largely unknown beyond Southern Arizona.
