Yo Soy Chicano

• 1972 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- 16mm
• The Chicano experience--from its' roots in pre-Columbian history to the present--is dramatically portrayed by actors who recreate key events and portray individuals in Mexican history and through interviewing Chicano leaders. Mexican-Americans, who comprise five per cent of the United State population and twenty per cent of all Vietnam casualties, have been subjected to racism and exploitation throughout their history. Solutions to this oppression are discussed in interviews with Dolores Huerta (United Farm Workers), Reies Lopez Tijerina (Federal Alliance of Free States), Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzles (Crusade for Justice) and Jose Angel Gutierrez (La Raza Unida).
• Topics: (American Ethnic Studies: Latino/Chicano, Latin America, Mexico)
