Directed by Sammy Garcia III
This is a heartfelt tribute to the elders who paved the way for us. A tribute to the activists, writers, photographers, and everyday heroes of the 60s and 70s who fought tirelessly for our rights and our right to proudly call ourselves Chicano. From prominent leaders like Carlos Montes to the voices behind La Raza newspapers, from the Brown Berets who stood on the frontlines to people like my dad, who was inspired by the music, his own experiences, and whose everyday struggles and triumphs were just as powerful, this is a thank you.

The Socialists of Shoe City, 35min,. USA
Directed by Shana Figueroa
The story of “The Socialists of Shoe City: The Socialist Movement in Haverhill, Massachusetts” ” chronicles the transformative impact of James F. Carey and John C. Chase on Haverhill, Massachusetts, during a period of intense industrialization and social upheaval. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Haverhill’s booming shoe industry was a focal point of labor exploitation and inequality. Carey and Chase, driven by a vision of social justice and workers’ rights, founded the Haverhill Socialist Labor Party in 1895. Their activism led to significant labor strikes, public lectures, and campaigns for better working conditions and fair wages. Despite facing formidable opposition, their efforts culminated in Carey’s historic election to the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1898, signaling a profound shift in the political landscape and inspiring a broader socialist movement across America.
