Viernes Video: Negro – Latino Identity

During a week that saw the Pew Hispanic Research Center release a survey about how Latinos identify themselves — more prefer the term “Hispanic” versus “Latino,” this first installment in a planned series of documentaries about Latino identity is all the more relevant. Negro: Latino Identity is about how Latinos personally identify with both American and Latinos in their respective countries exploring media portrayals, misconceptions about the ethnicity, racism and colorism among Latinos and the diasporas in Latin America, particularly the African Diaspora. Currently, the filmmaker is raising funds to complete the series.
