Doc Days 2021

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Stick around afterwards for an OPUNTIA Happy Hour with a live DJ set by Kyle Dixon (S U R V I V E / Stranger Things OST) and prickly pear margaritas. 6:30 – 7:30 PM.

Director David Fenster in attendance.

Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca journeyed from Florida to Texas to Chihuahua in the 16th century, avoiding starvation through the discovery of the prickly pear fruit, and surviving disease due to his contact with various Native American groups who taught him the arts of shamanic healing. OPUNTIA director David Fenster uses a psychic medium to contact Cabeza de Vaca and tell his story, which heralds the age of Spanish colonization of the Americas.
