We are excited to share the page for the short film Emma Tenayuca and the 1938 San Antonio Pecan Shellers Strike. The documentary short is based on the feature documentary A Strike and an Uprising (in Texas!). The site is a living document created for school children ages 8 and above and educators alike.
The film explores a victorious strike of 10,000 pecan shellers and the life of strike leader, Emma Tenayuca, through a contemporary lens. Performer Keli Rosa Cabunoc and her young friends Analuisa, Frida, and Annabelle take us on an adventure as they visit sites in San Antonio connected to Emma and the strikers. This site, created by Xica Media, is a way to view the film and related media, connect with educational resources, and become a part of living history. We invite you take a look.
