Monday at the Movies: Miss Angela (documentary) In-Person
In pre-revolutionary Cuba, a young Angela Alvarez announced to her family that she wanted to be a singer and songwriter, but such endeavors were not permitted for women. And so she was relegated to writing her songs in secret. She married and had four children before the world turned upside down. When her own visa was refused at Havana airport Angela made the agonizing decision to send her children on and catch up. They became part of the Pedro Pan exodus where 14,500 unaccompanied children were spirited out of Cuba between 1960-62. It took Angela four more long, frightening years to escape and reunite her family, finally settling down in the United States. Only decades later would her music find life, culminating in a concert at the historic Avalon in Hollywood, hosted by Academy Award winner, Andy Garcia. Rated TV-MA. 93 minutes.
