In honor of Hispanic
Heritage Month — a time to celebrate the culture, traditions and
contributions of Latin people — we’re spotlighting an area where inequality
and stereotyping persist: depictions of Latin Americans in television and
film.
The harm of negative portrayals lingers long after the episode or movie
ends. What appears on screen informs public opinion which can then be
exploited for political gain, lead to housing or employment discrimination
or used to provoke violence against people of Latin American descent.
What can be done to accurately portray Latin Americans in popular media?
Additionally, how can visibility be increased and opportunities created for
Latino actors, producers, screenwriters and directors?
Our PSEG True Diversity
film is Latinos Beyond
Reel, a documentary about how Latinos are marginalized and
vilified in the U.S. media with critical consequences.
How to participate:
- Register
- Watch
Latinos Beyond Reel for free
