Spanning a period of almost 80 years, this inspirational and compelling film captures the life and legacy of Patrick Flores, the first Mexican American to be appointed a bishop in the Catholic Church. The film chronicles his childhood and early years as a migrant farm worker, high school dropout, and cantina musician. Flores dreamed of becoming a priest, a nearly impossible goal for a Mexican American in those days in Texas. The film, a microcosm of the struggles and triumphs of Mexican Americans in America, captures Flores' journey to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, becoming one of the most influential Latino leaders in the United States.
