SEE ME: FIVE YOUNG LATINAS
Price: $210.00 Code: 1640 |
Five teen-aged Latinas living in San Francisco's Mission District-most of them recent
immigrants from Mexico or other Central American countries-talk frankly about their
lives, from discrimination and school , to friends and family relationships, experiences
with gang activity and violence, and plans for the future. Their comments are blended
with footage of neighborhood life and other activities to provide meaningful insights into
the everyday lives of young Hispanic women in the U.S. today.
