Screening and Directors' Talk: "Pancho Gonzalez: Warrior of the Court"
San Antonio Public Library Online
Narrated by Benjamin Bratt, "Pancho Gonzalez: Warrior of the Court" tells the compelling story of Richard Alonzo "Pancho" Gonzalez, largely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
Gonzalez was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1968 while still an active player. He never had a formal tennis lesson, yet ruled his sport during the fifties and early sixties and continued to compete past the age of forty defeating players half his age. Featuring interviews with Robert Redford, Serena and Venus Williams, Edward James Olmos, and Jimmy Connors as well as exclusive footage never before broadcast, the film tells the story of one the great unrecognized American athletes.
Producer Ernesto Quintero and Director Danny Haro will participate in an audience Q & A after the screening.
