      abstract = {"Filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how U.S.  news and entertainment media portray--and do not  portray--Latinos. Drawing on the insights of Latino  scholars, journalists, community leaders, actors,  directors, and producers, they uncover a pattern of gross  misrepresentation and gross under-representation--a world  in which Latinos tend to appear, if at all, as gangsters  and Mexican bandits, harlots and prostitutes, drug dealers  and welfare-leeching illegals. The film challenges viewers  to think critically about the wide-ranging effects of these  media stereotypes, and to envision alternative  representations and models of production more capable of  capturing the humanity and diversity of real  Latinos."--Container.},
