On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam
On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam
Mon, 10/08/2018 - 7:00pm - 8:00pm
This film captures a complex aspect of the Vietnam War: the legacy of Latino veterans and their families during the conflict.
Through rare archival footage and candid interviews, On Two Fronts: Latinos & Vietnam, airing Monday, October 8, 2018 at 7 p.m. on WXXI-World, conveys the rich heritage of military service, a deeply rooted part of Latino cultural identity in the U.S., and looks at the contributions made by Latino veterans and their families during the Vietnam era. The film also explores the controversy and changing attitudes amid the growing Chicano anti-war movement and within a community reeling over disproportionate losses and divided over participation in the war.
