ABOUT THE FILM-
In Adios Amor, the discovery of lost photographs sparks the search for a hero that history forgot — Maria Moreno, an eloquent migrant activist and mother of 12. Years before Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta launched the United Farm Workers, Maria used the only weapon she had — her voice — and became an outspoken leader in an era when women were relegated to the background. The first woman farm worker in America to be hired as a union organizer, Maria’s story was silenced and her legacy buried — until now.
