“As for major obstacles keeping young Latinos from becoming filmmakers, I think our communities are still coming into their identities as storytellers. It's such an important identity to reclaim - it's how our ancestors kept our cultures alive. But a long history of silencing, invisibility, and marginalization has kept generations of Latinos from believing in themselves, from seeing themselves as agents of their own lives. I think there needs to be a focus on this aspect to help cultivate young Latinas to see themselves as cultural producers and defenders.” ThinkingNeedsBelieveLongStillsImportantHelpingYoungCultureCommunityFocusAliveSeeingGenerationsIdentityBecomingMajorsAspectObstaclesProducersAgentsFilmmakerAncestorStorytellerLatinoOur CommunityDefendersInvisibilityLatinaMarginalizationSilencing Author:Aurora Guerrero
