One of Central California's largest cultural events includes five days of LGBTQ+ cinema with different genres aimed at entertaining and informing audiences.
The event's tagline is Films For Everyone. Reel Pride communications director, Augie Blancas and programming director Margo Serrano sat down with Latino Life host Graciela Moreno to discuss some of the films coming to the Tower Theatre and Vista Theater in Central Fresno.
