OPERATION PEDRO PAN is the true story of how in the early 1960s over 14,000 unaccompanied minors immigrated from Cuba to Miami with the help of the Catholic Church in order to escape the persecution of Fidel Castro’s regime. Inspired by the common lack of understanding of these events and how they affected the individuals involved and their families, Mariana beautifully tells her own family’s experience of these events. PEDRO PAN centers on themes of the importance of family, love, and sacrifice. PEDRO PAN seeks to educate people about such an important event in American History and cultivate empathy and understanding for the many people who suffered from it, and continue to do so. Mariana is seeking Latinx and Hispanic identifying actors to help her tell this story.
