The Alamo is an American iconic event. Its film treatment over the decades reflects that epic status. A Road to the Alamo is a biographical, documentary film that for the first time on screen recreates the life of Albert Martin, a little known Alamo hero, who was born in Providence Rhode Island and died at the Alamo on March 6, 1836. The film explains why Albert was at the Alamo, and details the forces that drove his father Joseph S. Martin to immigrate to Texas alongside his nearly forgotten son. They traded a tumultuous Providence Rhode Island for opportunities within a rebellious Texas, a lethal decision.
