Documentary Film - Focused on the Modern Effects of the Mexican Revolution and the Siege of Naco

Gerald Lamb is a historian, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and public history curator based in Arizona. With a master's in history from Northern Arizona University, he brings over a decade of experience in community-centered storytelling, using film to illuminate overlooked histories and amplify underrepresented voices. His proposed project, Un pueblo chico, olvidado de Dios, is a bilingual, community-driven documentary exploring the three sieges of Naco during the Mexican Revolution and the layered history of Camp Naco, a historic Buffalo Soldier site. Through a blend of oral histories, archival research, and experimental cinematography, Lamb’s project will highlight the lived experiences of borderland communities and challenge dominant narratives of the U.S.-Mexico border. Designed with input from local residents and key collaborators on both sides of the border, the film will culminate in public screenings, a digital oral history archive, and educational materials.
