Echo Chamber - 143

It's another special edition of @EchoChamberFP and on this Monday, we take a look at ‘Miss Angela: Dreams Come True’. Plus, we speak to Angela's grandson and producer of the film, Carlos José Alvarez.

In pre-revolutionary Cuba, a young Angela Alvarez announced to her family that she wanted to be a singer and songwriter but was immediately forbidden. 75 years later, that dream came true! 'Miss Angela: Dreams Do Come True' is an incredible story about love, family, struggle, and how a 91 year old always held onto the thing she loved!
