Buena Gente

Take a look at this video from Spike Lee. He's an established director who still faces numerous challenges even after 20+ years of filmmaking. Now when you think of African-Americans in movies, obviously many come to mind: Spike, John Singleton, Tyler Perry, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Halle Berry, etc.

Latinos don't have as long a list. There are many established actors & directors from Latin America, but what about in the United States?

If African-Americans are having a hard time, what are Latino-Americans experiencing? That's a big part of my motivation. We have to change that now.
