Hispanic Heritage month kicks off with film premier of ‘La Guagua 47’
The Latino community came to the Kimmel Center Thursday night for the premiere of the short film "La Guagua 47," which translates to "the 47 bus" in English.

SEPTA's 47 bus is a central character in the short film set to an original song of the same name by songwriter and producer Alba Martínez. It tells the story of a young Latina moving to Philadelphia and struggling to find her comunidad in the city she now calls home. It was created in partnership with SEPTA, Al Día News, and Ritmo Lab.
