Angela Soto
Angela Soto was born on January 25, 1961 in Tucson, Arizona, the youngest of five. Her mother, Vicenta Soto, a seamstress/farmer/housekeeper raised Angela as well as her three sisters and her brother on her own. Angela found her mom and sisters to be her source of strength and inspiration. She believes that they are all very strong, loving, and amazing women, and she hopes she can tell all their stories one day. As a youngster in the 1960s, Angela was the first in her family to love school. She went on to be the only one in her family to go to college, majoring in journalism where she could pursue the joy of telling people’s stories. She has worked at the Arizona Daily Star for 20 years, starting in the library and moving to the local news desk where she now writes for the Neighbors Page. About 25 years ago she picked up her first still camera, taking pictures and telling stories for fun. Not long after, the video camera made it into her hands. Through classes at ACCESS Tucson she was determined to do more films and to show them to an audience besides her family. Two years ago she showed her first short film, “The 2004 All Souls Day Procession,” in the All Souls Day Film Festival. It was a 10-minute photographic show of the All Souls Day Procession. The following year she made another 10-minute short film titled, “El Dia de Un Muerto.” It is the story of a deceased little girl who comes to the All Souls Day Procession to be reunited with her mother. “El Dia de Un Muerto” was shown at the All Souls Day Film Festival in December 2005 as well as at Nuestras Raices Film Festival in February 2006. In March 2006 her full-length feature film, “Mia’s Journal,” was shown at the 2006 Wingspan Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Film Festival, drawing the largest festival audience. She was also asked to show her film and speak to two UA Women’s Studies classes this year. She currently lives with her partner of five years, Linda Dols. They have three dogs and one cat. They recently had a commitment ceremony April 8, 2006. Angela’s next project is a film about her mother called “Green Corn Tamales.” It’s a story about her four teenaged great-nieces and how the Hispanic culture, food, art, language and history is fading from their lives. When they make green corn tamales with their great grandmother, they learn why they have the privileges they have today while hearing her tell her life story.

Dale Roose
Battling a disabling illness, Dale Roose earned an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts with High Honors and hopes to find a scholarship to continue his education at Prescott College, minoring in science. While in school, he began to discover the high degree to which people hold false memories and false beliefs and fear the unfamiliar and the threat that poses to democracy, freedom, and the general well-being of the public.

Dale is currently working on a documentary, After the Trigger: Chronic Disease Demystified: , to explain a complex biochemical mechanism common to a set of diseases which include: fibromyalgia (FM), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and gulf war illness (GWI). False beliefs about these diseases are common and have caused unnecessary disability and suffering.
