ADELITAS

The victories and defeats in the Mexican Revolution were sung into folksongs by Pancho Villa's fighting men. Nearly 100 years later, the song La Adelita remains one of Mexico's most popular today. Remembered proudly, all the women of the Revolution's ranks have come to be known by one endearment—the ADELITAS.
“ADELITAS is an action-packed tale about loyalty, love, and learning which one is worth fighting for.” --ScriptAlley.com
