Pedro's familia are just as real as the Cubano's RW San Fran momentos...

We've heard all the behind-the-scenes chisme from celebs and actors, but what about the person that was with Pedro through every step of his illness? We are shedding light to today's Pedro premiere by chatting it up with his hermana, Mily Zamora.  MTV Tr3s caught up with his sister at the movie screening held at Florida International University to get her reaction to the movie and share intimate memories of Pedro.

Mily sent this note of thanks to MTV Tr3s for their efforts:

Queria aprovechar la oportunidad para darte las gracias por hacia posible algo tan extraordinario, todo quedo fantastico, te pido disculpa por tanto llorar pero es que las emociones, el sentimiento llenan nuestras mentes del recuerdo y el deseo de nuestro PEDRO. Fueron momentos que realmente los vivimos y nunca lo podremos olvidar...

Cariños y muchas gracias,
Mily Zamora y Familia

Check out what the cast-mates had to say about the importance of Pedro's story and what they learned from it after the jump...

Wondering what people are saying about Pedro?

At the uber-emotional Pedro screening event held in mid March at Florida International University the reaction was unanimous: Cryfest 2009.  Among the tear-filled viewers and forum panelists was Calle 13's Residente:

The movie tells us to value life.  I think by telling Pedro's story, many young people will learn the importance of being conscious about this disease that still doesn't have a cure.

Last week we shared with you una entrevista exclusiva with the 'Electromovimiento' rapper.  Esta semana we're rolling tape on Rene's reactions from the Florida International University forum.  See what the pro-social rapper had to say about the event aquí:

Pedro airs on MTV Tr3s April 1st at 8pm. Until then stay tuned for more exclusive sneak peeks and exclusive entrevistas on MTV Tr3s Blogamole.

Get schooled on vintage Real World.  Read up on the Season III cast, including Pedro, and browse photos on the Real World Season III: San Francisco official page.  Starting tomorrow, we'll be sharing memorable video clips from Season III, videos that show why Pedro and his San Fran crew are some of the most memorable RW cast mates to date.
