Waas Sappening with Latinxs in América

Alex & Eric

Latinxs in América, at the Border, and in Latinx cinema

For our project we discussed the movies Born In East L.A. and Who is Dayani Cristal?. Born in East L.A. is a slapstick comedy, that still manages to probe important issues relating to the U.S. - Mexican border. Who is Dayani Cristal? is a much more serious documentary. Who is Dayani Cristal?, was created by, and stars the Mexican actor and activist, Gael Garcia Bernal. Cameras follow Bernal as he attempts to cross over the border and arrive in the United States.
