Please email him at spencer at nmsu.edu for more information or if you wish to participate Casting Call / Collaboration Request Becas para Aztl?n: Scholars of Two Homelands is a short 15?20 minute bilingual documentary currently in development. The project combines oral history interviews with brief scripted reenactments to explore a little-known transnational education initiative from the early 1970s in which Mexican American students received scholarships to pursue professional training in Mexico. The film examines how this program shaped the education, identity, and professional lives of participants and contributed to service in Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S. Southwest. The documentary will include three short reenactment scenes filmed in a simple stage or theater setting with minimal props. The reenactments will be based on historical research and interview testimony and will complement the documentary interviews. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
