"Film and television have the ability to increase empathy by giving people the opportunity to relate to a life experience that they don’t know much about." -Dominique Nieves

#HispanicHeritageMonth
Dominique Nieves shows style and substance in “Our Lady Lupe,” the short film she made as part of #LatinoExperiencePBS. #HispanicHeritageMonth
Audiences follow a young boy who tries to help his family and along the way he learns lessons about family tradition and, maybe, a little magic. #HispanicHeritageMonth
Nieves recognizes the boy’s journey is not one everyone has personally experienced, but the story allows everyone to relate just the same. #HispanicHeritageMonth
The screen’s unique power of connection and empathy is what Nieves hopes to continue harnessing in her films. #HispanicHeritageMonth
Watch "Our Lady Lupe" now streaming on the PBS Video app. #HispanicHeritageMonth pbs.org/video/our-lady…

"We’re in a place now where we need to put fear aside and really celebrate the beauty of variety." -Carlos Santana

#HispanicHeritageMonth @HHFoundation @SantanaCarlos
To describe Carlos Santana as a legend is to be modest. He has been making music that broke boundaries and melded genres for over 50 years. #HispanicHeritageMonth
From his epic performance at Woodstock in 1968 to studio recordings that mixed rock and Latin American jazz and African rhythms, Santana speaks (with his guitar) to all people on a spiritual level. #HispanicHeritageMonth

"In the end... Solo el pueblo salva al pueblo. Only the people save the people. I believe in the power of community and the profound impact of solidarity." -Arleen Cruz-Alicea

#HispanicHeritageMonth
Arleen Cruz-Alicea's film, Comida Pa’ Los Pobres, follows a community-led movement to feed hungry families in Puerto Rico and gives audiences another perspective of life on the island. #HispanicHeritageMonth
Cruz-Alicea explores Puerto Rico through the value and cultural significance of food, whether available or not, in communities. She hopes the film provokes new conversations and opens minds to the unique culture and life in Puerto Rico. #HispanicHeritageMonth
