Walter Dominguez and Shelley Morrison on Swoop’s World Late Night

On Wednesday August 6, 2014 at 8pm/PDT (10pm/CDT, 11pm/EDT) we are happy to welcome the return of Filmmakers Walter Dominguez and Shelley Morrison (Will and Grace) to Swoop’s World. Walter and his wife Shelley have spent the last 11 years working on a documentary about Walter’s family’s roots called “Weaving The Past: Journey of Discovery.” Join us as we speak to Walter and Shelley and learn about a family mystery and one man’s journey to find the answers. Of course after our interview with Walter Dominguez and Shelley Morrison we’ll be up to all of our usual fun with our Brewskis beer tasting segment, TBones Timeout, USC legend Anthony Davis, as well as crazy insights into any interesting news stories of the day. Swoop’s World Late Night is on Wednesday’s from 8pm/PST – 11pm/PST tune in at Swoopsworld.com. Filmmaker Walter Dominguez finds himself at a crossroads in his life, wondering how to find a new path and regain his sense of purpose. A mysterious photograph connected to his late beloved Mexican-born grandfather Emilio, a kindly and saintly minister who influenced Walter’s life, leads Walter to embark on a quest to unearth answers to enigmas and mysteries surrounding Emilio’s early life. But what Walter discovers is a dark side of his grandfather’s life that he had no inkling existed, and it turns his perceptions about his grandfather upside down. He learns Emilio was an anarchist revolutionary, befriended and mentored by a famous Mexican revolutionary named Praxedis G. Guerrero. And that Emilio and Praxedis together were involved in conspiratorial, even violent activities based from the United States against the dictator of Mexico, Porfirio Díaz, activities that helped precipitate the cataclysmic ten year Mexican Revolution. The documentary traces Walter’s odyssey as he puts the pieces of the puzzle together, the puzzle of how conditions in Emilio’s tragic early life, and in Mexico as a whole, brought him together with Praxedis and motivated their fiery opposition to Díaz; and of how Emilio transformed from a radical anarchist into a Methodist minister, dedicated to changing human conditions through peaceful, non-violent means.
