While the term Three Amigos and the scholarship that analyzes their early works from a transnational perspective seeks to other them and distinguish them from Hollywood, I argue that the three filmmakers did not depart from a place of difference, and that they embraced Hollywood filmmaking all along, from the beginning of their careers, to the most recent Academy Award recognitions.

Lifting a tattered t-shirt, they expose a tattoo that reads “Dayani Cristal”. Who is this person? What brought him here? How did he die? And who—or what—is Dayani Cristal? Following a team of dedicated staff from the Pima County Morgue in Arizona, director Marc Silver seeks to answer these questions and give this anonymous man an identity. As the forensic investigation unfolds, Mexican actor and activist Gael Garcia Bernal retraces this man’s steps along the migrant trail in Central America. In an effort to understand what it must have felt like to make this final journey, he embeds himself among migrant travelers on their own mission to cross the border. He experiences first-hand the dangers they face and learns of their motivations, hopes and fears. As we travel north, these voices from the other side of the border wall give us a rare insight into the human stories which are so often ignored in the immigration debate.

Forster (Japan Women's University) This study investigates the ways in which the Netflix Narcos television series reinforces negative images of Latinos as dangerous drug dealers who threaten the safety and sanctity of U.S. citizens. It also explores how it both reflects and supports President Trump's politics of fear that not only got him elected, but has broadened and strengthened his support from conservatives since. An in-depth exploration of selected scenes from episodes of three Netflix series: Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, and El Chapo offers evidence of why such programs have become so popular for American viewers and continue to propagate Donald Trump's political pulpit of fear of illegal immigrants coming across the border to destroy conservative white America's way of life. Based on the analysis of these three series, it becomes clear that their popularity can perhaps be traced to Donald Trump's unexpected 2016 presidential win and his manipulative, and so far effective, use of politics of fear. In this context, the Netflix series mocks US law and journalism, which supports Trump's political agenda even further.

  • Film Review: 'Cesar Chavez'
    http://www.neontommy.com/news/2014/03/cesar-chavez-film-review Film Review: 'Cesar Chavez' March 23, 2014 | 3:56 p.m. PDT Jenn Velez Contributing Writer A line of eager college students and community members lined up outside UCLA’s James Bridges Theatre on March 7 for an advanced screening of "Cesar Chavez" directed by renowned Mexican actor Diego Luna. Organized by Professor Hector Calderon, sponsors included the Cesar Chavez Chicano Studies Department and the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. It might be a bit surprising to hear that a Mexican director is the first to bring the life of the most recognized Mexican-American leader in the United States to the big screen. No, being Mexican and Mexican-American do not equate to the same experience, but Diego Luna’s "Cesar Chavez" brings together a cast of talented familiar faces, including America Ferrera, Rosario Dawson, and Michael Peña for a powerful reason; to tell a story that has long been overdue. Cesar Chavez, Canana Films We’ve seen the likes of other influential social justice leaders such as Malcom X and Harvey Milk come to Hollywood and now the story of the leader who famously organized farmworkers with his slogan “Si, Se Puede” or “Yes, We Can” can be seen in theatres across the nation. "Cesar Chavez" profiles Chavez and his role as the organizer of one of the biggest labor movements in American history. It depicts the unjust and inhumane working conditions many farmworkers faced in Delano, CA and in other agricultural cities throughout the state. It is Chavez (Peña) along with his wife Helena (Ferrera), and Dolores Huerta (Dawson), the other co-founder of the United Farm Workers, who help a community of working class laborers fight for a higher wage and other basic working needs.
