RITA, THE DOCUMENTARY, an intimate and music-fueled documentary by Arturo Díaz Santana that captures the energy and artistry of the brilliant lead singer of Santa Sabina, Rita Guerrero (1964-2011), will screen at the Hola Mexico Film Festival on Thursday, June 6 at The Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood.
Santa Sabina, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, will perform following the film, as will the artist Vampiro, who has performed and recorded with Mexican rock icons Maná.
Guerrero, who passed away at age 46 after a hard-fought battle against breast cancer, was not just a central figure in Mexico’s 90s rock scene but a fierce advocate for social justice who supported the leftist Zapatista movement.
