We're excited about Latin stories in US movies and TV! In today's episode, Rafael Sarmiento joins us as we explore the good, the bad, and the funny in how films portray Latinos. How much does film impact society and people's perceptions? Is film so powerful as to affect rhetoric and immigration policy? Does it determine camaraderie or fear? Are all Latinos Mexican? (answer no!) We all know stories can make a compelling impact by driving people's emotions. Join us as we talk about Coco, Spy Kids, We the Animals, and Don't Let me Drown, as well as Day of the Dead and immigration.
