AfroLatinos
"An Untaught History"
Documentary
College Tour
Two- Time Emmy Award winning television producer Renzo Devia, along with producer, playwright, speaker and activist Alicia Anabel Santos, embark on a spiritual and educational quest to several Latin American countries, in search of their African roots, to document the African influence in Latino culture. The duo discovered countless unspoken truths, stories and hidden facts not yet taught in America's educational system.
In today's climate, Afro centric education is key to understanding why and how various parts of the world have had to adapt to new cultures since before the 16th century.
"AfroLatinos: An Untaught History", a documentary highlighting the contributions of Afro- descendants in Latin American culture, is the result of Renzo and Alicia's journey.
The film chronicles the trans- Atlantic slave trade, as well as the race identity issues that have followed, and continue to effect the Hispanic community to this day.
