Latinos have made many important contributions to the art of cinema. For over a century their contributions have helped create cinema as we know it today. The Latino image has reflected U.S. and world politics. This HBO/Cinemax documentary interviews Latinos actors, directors, and producers about their experiences in the world of cinema.

The film challenges viewers to think critically about the wide-ranging effects of these media stereotypes, and to envision alternative representations and models of production more capable of capturing the humanity and diversity of real Latinos.
