Film Notes: Latin History for Morons by John Leguizamo
I have taught Ethnic Studies at the secondary level, and when we are working on a LatinX unit, I have found this film (which is more like a one-man Broadway show) very insightful.

The film has a LOT of profanity, so please watch it first before determining whether it is a film you want to show to your class. The third
