In 1982, Cruz Reynoso, the son of farm workers, became the first Latino California Supreme Court Justice. “Cruz Reynoso: Sowing the Seeds of Justice” follows Reynoso's extraordinary life, from his childhood growing up in La Habra, California; to his heroic tenure as the director of the California Rural Legal Assistance; to his five years as Associate Justice; to the Presidential Medal of Freedom he received in 2000. Abby Ginzberg’s luminous film reveals the life of a man devoted to eradicating discrimination and inequality at all levels of society.

Rough Cuts is a series of work-in-progress documentary screenings that are produced every other month at the LAB, a non-profit gallery/performance space in the Mission. For each evening, we screen one rough cut of a feature-length documentary and then moderate a conversation about the film. These post-screening discussions are designed to give the filmmaker a better, more objective sense of what is working and not working with his/her film, with particular attention paid to improving the film’s structure and narrative clarity. We hope that the series also provides a welcome space for local filmmakers, film professionals, and fans of documentary film to meet and talk.
