While nearly 400 armed officers waited 77 minutes to act, Angeli ran into the school, pulled her children to safety, and became a viral symbol of courage. But as she spoke out against law enforcement’s inaction, she faced intense harassment from authorities, who weaponized her past to discredit and silence her.

Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Using the background of one of the far-too-many horrific school shootings, we see a story of a community and an organization of power that hammers home that fascism did not just start in America recently. It was already well in force. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Barbara Goslawski ScreenAnarchy This stirring documentary grows from its singular focus into an investigation of a broken system, a fractured society and the unforeseen consequences of being a media celebrity. Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Andrew Osborne culturevulture.net Director Anayansi Prado’s frequently infuriating, quietly powerful documentary is more of a hero’s journey as her eponymous subject’s ongoing demands for answers, change, and justice expose her to unexpected perils in the aftermath of trauma. Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “Uvalde Mom” may inspire when chronicling a true act of heroism, but Prado offers a far more sophisticated and complex portrait exposing the underlying factors...that make it feel as if it should've been unnecessary. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Ryan McQuade AwardsWatch While Uvalde Mom does end on a hopeful (if rushed) note for Rose Gomez and her family, the fight is still on-going in this small Texas town for justice for all. Only time will tell if everyone will get it, and if that feeling of normalcy will ever return. Rated: B+ Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
