Latino Americans is a groundbreaking three-part, six-hour documentary series that chronicles Latino history in the United States from the 16th century to the present day. Through its thorough compilation of unwritten histories and interviews, the series provides perspectives that are often overlooked or outright discarded in this nation’s standard history. The different strands of people, politics and culture involved in the stories of early settlement, conquest and immigration are untangled and woven into a fair and more just understanding of the role of Latino Americans have played in America.
