Film Screening: “Pedro Páramo”

Kick off Hispanic Heritage Month at the California Museum with an exclusive FREE screening of Pedro Páramo, the powerful Netflix adaptation of the classic Mexican novel by Juan Rulfo. This event is presented in partnership with the Consulate General of Mexico in Sacramento and the California Film Foundation.

This haunting and visually striking film follows Juan, a young man who fulfills his mother’s dying wish to find his estranged father in the remote town of Comala—only to discover a place populated by whispers and ghosts.
