| Summary |
Twenty-five history students from St. Mary's University take a 2,000 mile bus trip from the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas to Springfield, Illinois to build a Day of the Dead altar honoring Abraham Lincoln's support of Mexico, and then to ask the Illinois State Military Museum to return General Antonio López de Santa Anna's prosthetic leg to Mexico. With humor, humility, and a few animated history lessons, these students, mostly Mexican American, raise questions of identity, national borders, museum ethics, and collective memory. Official Selection at the **Arizona International Film Festival** |
