Ugly Little Monkeys

In the 1960s, an Irish priest named Father Charles Rourke, driven by his passion for mariachi music, forms Los Changuitos Feos de Tucson, the United States' first youth mariachi group, in the heart of Arizona. From humble beginnings, these young musicians overcome societal prejudices and financial hardships to rise to fame, becoming a beacon of cultural pride and unity. Their determination preserves their heritage while inspiring future generations, proving the profound impact of music and community on American history.
