The movie will also be screened in Spain and Rome.  

The Needle and the Thread tells the story of a Nun in Agreda Spain who goes into trances and appears to the Jumano indians in the San Angelo Area in the 1600s before Spanish Catholic missionaries arrive in the new world.  There is physical evidence of the nun's interaction with the natives on the pictographs at Paint Rock, TX. 

Manzilla said Saturday that the story of Soy Maria De Agreda has touched his heart and as a native American this story needs to be told. 

The world premier of 'The Needle and the Thread' is Sunday at 3 pm. in the Murphey Performance Hall and tickets are still available.
