South Texas Gentle Men of Steel: Los Padres (2015)
Film by Armando Ibanez (Documentary, Biography and Period Piece) Writer, Director, Producer, Editor This documentary is about the last two Dominican friars and the impact they and their fellow Dominican brothers had for the past 82 years on the history and development of central South Texas, and how their presence assisted many Mexican-Americans struggle against racism, which bespeaks of the experiences of many in the Southwest. It's the universal story of people grappling to accept each other as equals. The Mexican-American experience traces its roots to the Spanish Conquest--a wrestling match of greed and brutality against equality and Salvation--as well as to the story of Cain and Abel. This film unfolds in interviews, special effects and graphics, music and original poetry.

Man of the People: Dr. Hector P. Garcia (2011)
Film (short) by Armando Ibanez (Documentary, Biography, Period Piece and News) Director, Producer, Editor, Cinematographer This short is about Dr. Hector P. Garcia, a physician who played a pivotal role in establishing the foundation for civil and human rights in the United States. Dr Garcia preceded Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez. Political powerhouses, including Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan, who awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, knew and worked with Dr. Garcia. Yet, the public knows little about a man who sacrificed so much for his country and dedicated his life to civil and human rights, as well as assisting veterans and helping the poor. Dr. Hector worked tirelessly--some say obsessively--to secure and defend the civil rights of Mexican-Americans, most of whom faced rampant discrimination and were poverty-stricken.
