The bullet that killed Geranimo Maestas on November 26, 1993, was the shot heard throughout Denver. In the months following the infamous "Summer of Violence," no story captures the town's harrowing reality as Mo's murder does. To media outlets, being gunned down for a jacket is unfathomable.Reminding Me of Mo is a character study of a natural born leader who never fretted about living in gang territory. Against all odds, and when backed into a corner, Mo stood up for himself, his family, and his home, a feat that fuels his posthumous legacy. Leaning on her background in protest, Mo's mother Cathy had the fortitude and foresight to turn Mo's memory into a movement.The No 'Mo Violence Cultural Dance Group has been active for two decades, empowering at-risk youth and offering dance programs from Ballet Folklórico to Hip Hop. Reminding Me of Mo documents Mo's essence and is both past and prologue, tragedy and triumph; an in-depth retelling of his illustrious story, one forever embedded in the fabric of Denver.
