Film Screening: 'American Homeboy'

“American Homeboy” is a documentary film directed by Brandon Loran Maxwell that explores the complex origins of pachuco and cholo culture which sprouted from American soil more than 100 years ago in response to wartime sentiment, social alienation, and government discrimination only to become a pop culture phenomenon.

The film screening will be followed by a conversation and light reception.

This program is co-presented by the Colorado College Southwest Studies Department and the Fine Arts Center Museum in conjunction with Mi Gente: Manifestations of Community in the Southwest.
