Pedro is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and he received his B.A. in Theater Directing from Yale University.      Lead Me Home is a co-production of Netflix and Actual Films, and produced by Bonni Cohen, Serin Marshall and Richard Berge. And I'm happy to announce that it will screen at the Warner Grand Theatre, in San Pedro, on March 20th.In Lead Me Home, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk filmed the daily lives of more than two dozen subjects over three years. This method allows the viewer to almost be with the subject, to understand from their perspective. That is largely what makes the film so vital - as it sheds urgent light on these individuals' circumstances.Lead Me Home trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moekzAxXe0o
