R obert Fierro didn’t like what he saw. There in the doorway of a run-down shop a boy of about nine was huddled. He was naked except for a tattered newspaper that he was clutching for warmth against the stinging December chill. The boy told Fierro he had no family, no friends and for three days no food. That encounter in 1945 led to the founding of Orfanatorio Latino Am ericano, a Christian orphanage in the heart of a picturesque valley near Acapulco. This fall Christians will have a chance to see a stirring motion picture entitled Cargadero, that is the story of this orphanage. Unlike a good many on-the-spot mission films Cargadero was filmed with almost Hollywood precision. Westminster Film’s hard-driving 28- year-old William Brusseau went to Mexico himself in order to keep a sharp eye on production of the film. Brusseau’s fetish for detail is fast earning him a name as a top Chris tian film producer. Trained as a tool designer at Lawrence Institute of Technology, he later studied at Moo dy and took courses at USC and UCLA in cinema and theater arts. He did the original story for Mr. Texas for Billy Graham and worked on a good many Moody Institute of Science films before organizing West minster Films.
Cargadero's producer is William Brusseau, 28-year-old head of Westminster Films.
This is Acapulco, Mex., beautiful resort city near Latin American Orphanage.
