The return of Fred Carrasco explores the life, legend, and controversial death of San Antonio's infamous international he**in importer, whose 1972 return from a Mexican prison ignited a wave of violence, media attention, and fascination across the city. Drawing on seven years of research and interviews, Tovares examines Carrasco's long-running conflict with Detective William "Big Bill" Weilbacher while uncovering a darker side of San Antonio shaped by race, poverty, addiction, and police corruption.

Join us in discussion with Joseph Tovares, David Montejano, and ToniAnn Treviño to discuss San Anto community history and memory. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided.
