Already a viral phenomenon, this fascinating documentary explores pachuco and cholo cultures that sprouted from social alienation, wartime sentiment, and discriminatory policies over 100 years ago. Featuring rare interviews with artists, academics, activists, cholos, and former law enforcement officers against a backdrop of restored archival footage, it’s the story of a movement and people that revolutionized pop culture. “Beautiful…awe-inspiring.” – Alan Ng, Film Threat
