Shooting Reflections:
On Film and Social Change

Diego Luna

In conversation with Mandalit del Barco

January 29, 2013

From acting in award-winning films such as Before Night Falls, Frida, and Milk, to directing a forthcoming feature on Cesar Chavez, Luna’s passion for storytelling as an agent for social change is illuminated in his film work. As an activist, he speaks out against the bi-national arms trade. He is founder of Ambulante, a mobile documentary project bringing cinema to remote places in the Americas. Inspired by art as reflections, Luna talks about these projects and life on both sides of the border.
