Did you know the US is the fifth-largest Spanish-speaking country? Our shared history with Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the rest of the Americas has left its indelible mark, and these exchanges continue to shape our culture. In this diverse section, you can watch anything from a suspenseful sci-fi out of Oakland to a nuanced period-piece western from Chile to an uplifting documentary about youth and the environment in Puerto Rico. Film has the wonderful ability to bring us together within our own communities and across borders. There’s something here for just about everyone!
