San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams 2020 Thursday May 8, 7 p.m. La Paloma Salvatore Ferragamo began his career as a shoemaker before he was barely a teenager. In America, his work would soon help invent the glamour of Hollywood’s silent era as he created shoes for iconic films and for stars like Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and with incisive commentary by Martin Scorsese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin and Wanda Ferragamo, this is a portrait of a man whose vision, passion, and craftsmanship made him “shoemaker to the stars,” and an enduring cultural, fashion, and artistic influence. - This film is in English and Italian (with subtitles) - Tickets available online and at the box office (cash only) Visit: https://www.sandiegoitalianfilmfestival.com/monthly-series-north-county San Diego Italian Film Festival on Facebook / Instagram

The president of one of Lima's largest parent-teacher associations says at least 1,000 schools in the Peruvian capital are being extorted and that most are caving into the demands of the gangs.

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, says affected Texans are owed an investigation into what went wrong with evacuating flooded areas and how it can be prevented from happening again.
