Why This Performance is an Act of Resistance

Описание: Chicano Theatre: The Act of Resistance explores the legacy of Chicano theatre—from the flatbed-truck actos of El Teatro Campesino to the groundbreaking work of teatristas redefining art and identity today. Through intimate conversations, rehearsals, and dynamic performances, we meet the new generation carrying the tradition forward with plays that honor and uplift Latino stories.

The Story in Us is a thematic anthology that celebrates storytelling traditions from across the United States and the world. Each short character driven documentary is a deep dive into a culture’s tradition of storytelling told faithfully by members of that community. With authenticity and care, each film explores lesser-known histories with unique perspectives and insights to bring these storytelling legacies to light. The first season of The Story in Us was produced in partnership with the PBS Ignite Filmmakers Program, a hybrid 12-month program for up to 10 early-career filmmakers who have experienced barriers to entering the media industry.
