Filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how US news and
entertainment media portray -- and do not portray -- Latinos. Drawing on the
insights of Latino scholars, journalists, community leaders, actors, directors,
and producers, they uncover a pattern of gross misrepresentation and gross
under-representation -- a world in which Latinos tend to appear, if at all, as
gangsters and Mexican bandits, harlots and prostitutes, drug dealers and
welfare-leeching illegals.
