Presents
A Premiere Viewing of
"GOODWILL"
By Robert A. Emmons
On
July 12, 1928 one of Mexico's greatest aviators fatally crashed
his plane in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
Capt.
Emilio Carranza was only 23 years old when he died. His crash occurred
during the return trip from of reciprocal goodwill tour in response
to his friend Charles Lindbergh's visit to Mexico.
The
year of his crash the local Mount Holly American Legion Post 11
of NJ, the group responsible for recovery and posting guard over
the fallen aviator's body, held a memorial service that has continued
for over three quarters of a century.
Goodwill,
the documentary film, presents Carranza's life and the legacy he
has left in both Mexico and the United States of America.
The
film goes further as it investigates the differences between Carranza's
legacy in these two nations brought on by social, political, and
historical factors.
Finally,
the film is meant to be bring another layer to Carranza and Lindbergh's
goal of establishing a lasting goodwill between these two nations.
Since his death, members of American Legion Post 11 in Mount Holly
have continued to promote his Goodwill Mission by honoring the pioneer
aviator Captain Emilio Carranza.
