“YELLOW. ROSE” (2020. 95 min. PG-13.) - As timely as today’s immigration headlines, Diane Paragas’ debut is a searing ode for — and against — the “American Dream.” An undocumented Texas teen and aspiring singer/songwriter (Broadway star Eva Noblezada) pursues her country music dreams when her mother is deported back to the Philippines Co-starring Tony Award winner Lea Salonga and country music legend Dale Watson.

"Yellow Rose" is the timely story of a Filipina teen from a small Texas town who fights to pursue her dreams as a country music performer while having to decide between staying with her family or leaving the only home she has known.

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
