The Apl.de.ap Foundation International (ADAFI) is proud to present a fundraising screening of "Yellow Rose", a film from director Diane Paragas on THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2019 at the Carson Civic Community Center, 801 E. Carson Street, Carson, CA 90745.
Synopsis: Rose, an undocumented 17 year old Filipina, dreams of one day leaving her small Texas town to pursue her country music dreams. Her world is shattered when her mom suddenly gets picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Rose, facing this new realty, is forced to flee the scene, leaving behind the only life she knows, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she searches for a new home in the honky tonk world of Austin, Texas.
Featuring Tony Award Winner Lea Salonga, Dale Watson, Princess Punzalan, Gustavo Gomez ("The Walking Dead") and starring two-time Tony award nominee Eva Noblezada in a breakout role! The film has already bagged the Grand Jury Award at three prestigious film festivals, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, the Bentonville Film Festival and the CAAMFest37.
ADAFI is equally proud to support the National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NAFFAA) on their National Empowerment Conference (NEC) and their collaboration on this special screening. This special screening is happening in conjunction with the National Empowerment Conference (NEC) of NAFFAA, the National Federation of Filipino American Associations, which is holding their 3-day conference in Carson this year.
The film will be preceded by a special presentation from NAFFAA who will be awarding their Trailblazer Award to Apl.de.ap, co-founding member of the multi-Grammy award winning international hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas.
A discussion with Producer Rey Cuerdo, Director Diane Paragas and actress Princess Punzalan will occur immediately after the screening.
