Together, they trace the Zoot Suit from a cross-cultural fashion statement into a symbol that made Mexican American youth targets of state and mob violence during World War II, and why that's so resonant today.

Despite her family and society not fully accepting her, she strives to pave the way for other transgender women to celebrate their true selves, regardless of age and their circumstances in life. Juana Pelos Maria Mealla (Writer/Director) This sly comedy is the story of Juana, who is entering puberty and dealing with all that comes with it, including body hair. Relentlessly bullied, with no support from her mother in shedding her hairy shame, Juana crusades into the new world of hair removal behind her mom's back. My Name Is Annabel Amity Hoffmann and Ida Joglar (Producer/Directors) Annabel Hernandez, a performer with Down syndrome from Wichita, Kansas, shares her life and interviews friends and family about their perceptions of people with Down syndrome in this intimate documentary portrait.

This documentary follows a crew of fishermen in Vieques, Puerto Rico, who are forced to navigate further and further into the open sea in order to catch enough fish to make a living. Sangre Violenta, Sangre Violeta Arturo R. Jiménez and Edna Diaz (Directors) Why does the Mexican government consider the feminist movement a bigger threat than most drug cartels? In this powerful film, a grieving father, an inspiring musician and survivor, and a radical feminist collective confront the horrifying reality of the epidemic of gender violence in Mexico.

Gun Owners of America's Luis Valdez joins Marc and Kim for 2A Tuesday with a stunning Second Amendment win straight from the Supreme Court — the Wolford case just struck down attempts like Hawaii's to strip private property owners of the right to allow lawful gun owners onto their premises. Valdez breaks down how the left keeps rebranding America's most popular rifle as an "assault weapon" to manipulate public opinion, and exposes the legal battlefield raging in Illinois and Virginia, where gun grabbers like JB Pritzker are using one-party control to trample Second Amendment rights right across the river from St. Louis listeners. Valdez also delivers an explosive update on the ATF's illegal gun registry fight, revealing the feds have built a searchable database of gun owners just waiting for a switch to be flipped. This is the unapologetic, on-the-ground report from the front lines of the gun rights battle — and a reminder that local elections matter just as much as the big ones.

On May 1st, 2026, the Gavilan College Library in Gilroy hosted a sold-out evening celebrating legendary playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez. His documentary American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez had just won the Audience Award for U.S. Documentary at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. The event was presented in collaboration with the Gavilan College Foundation, the Watsonville Film Festival, and the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival. In this episode, you'll hear conversations recorded live that night. I sat down with Luis Valdez and his wife Lupe Valdez, and spoke with a group of people whose work is deeply rooted in this region's education, arts, and civic life: Mattie Scariot, Festival Director of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival; Dr. Pedro Avila, President of Gavilan College; Elvira Robinson, attorney and former Gavilan trustee whose decades of advocacy have shaped this college and this county; and Diane Ortiz, co-founder and CEO of Youth Alliance, a nonprofit she has built from a grassroots Hollister organization into a lifeline for thousands of young people and families across the South Valley. We talked about Chicano storytelling, what Luis Valdez's legacy means for communities like ours, and why a room full of South Valley neighbors showing up on a Friday night to celebrate one of their own matters.

“. . . There's this sense that [Left-leaning candidates] have to essentially be apologizing for their policy prescriptions and their stances. Mamdani has not done that . . . For the most part, he very much embraces who he is and what his policy prescriptions are.” - Felipe De La Hoz This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air date Oct 31, 2025]:  Wherever you are in the country, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program. Join us as we explore what a Mamdani victory would signal for the nation.

Nicholas Frank and William Sarradet discuss recent books and publications about art, made by artists, or unexpectedly connected to art. “Did you know that Frederic Remington was a writer? He was possibly more well-known, in his time, as a writer. There was a particular form of adventure journalism that he took on as a profession, and his illustrations for his writings were probably his best-known art at the time.” See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2026/02/21/art-dirt-what-were-reading/ Today's podcast is sponsored in part by the Thin Line Fest, which returns to downtown Denton March 18 to 22, bringing together documentary film, world-class photography, and live music in one immersive, multiday experience. This year's festival includes artists Byrd Williams IV, Arthur Fields, and Angilee Wilkerson, alongside work by 80 other photographers across five galleries. The film program features documentaries from major festivals, including "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez," which won the Audience Award at Sundance, and "Black Zombie," which premieres at this year's SXSW. It also features live musical performances by artists like Luna Luna and the Greyhounds, plus many more acts across intimate venues in Denton's walkable downtown. Register for free at thinline.us. Today's podcast is also sponsored by Del Mar College, which is presenting the "60th CAIN National" exhibition. This year's show was juried by Tabitha Whitley, a Brooklyn-based painter and printmaker. The show features 55 works of art from artists across 18 states. Del Mar College purchased five artworks from the exhibition for its permanent collection.

Synopsis:  In a conversation that spans decades of activism, Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to discuss the role of narratives in breaking down silos and fears, highlighting the impact of storytelling on building movements and inspiring courage in the face of adversity.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: People are taking to the streets and calling out fascism in bold, unique ways, but we're not all there yet. If you need some encouragement, watch "The People, United" — a gripping short film about everyday Americans standing up to ICE and winning through nonviolent resistance. Created by Ellen Gavin and presented in collaboration with the Dolores Huerta Foundation and People for the American Way, the video is a powerful example of storytelling as an organizing tool. In this episode, lifelong activists and old friends Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to explore how narratives help break through our silos and fears under this second Trump administration. Gavin's works as a writer, director and producer have brought millions of views to social justice storytelling; she is also founder of Gavin Creative Collab and founding artistic director of Brava! for Women in the Arts. Huerta is co-founder of the United Farm Workers with César Chávez and founder and president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Still organizing at 95 years old, she is recognized as one of the most influential labor organizers of the twentieth century and coined the iconic rallying cry “Si Se Puede.” She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Find out how narratives shatter fear and build movements, plus a commentary from Laura.“. . . We want people to be on our team. We want people to be touched in a way that says, ‘I want to be that neighbor. I want to be that helper. I want to be that person who sees something and does something instead of reacts with fear.' When they say that fear is contagious, and then they say, courage is contagious.” - Ellen Gavin“. . . In the farm, we didn't respond with violence . . .

Synopsis:  In a conversation that spans decades of activism, Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to discuss the role of narratives in breaking down silos and fears, highlighting the impact of storytelling on building movements and inspiring courage in the face of adversity.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: People are taking to the streets and calling out fascism in bold, unique ways, but we're not all there yet. If you need some encouragement, watch "The People, United" — a gripping short film about everyday Americans standing up to ICE and winning through nonviolent resistance. Created by Ellen Gavin and presented in collaboration with the Dolores Huerta Foundation and People for the American Way, the video is a powerful example of storytelling as an organizing tool. In this episode, lifelong activists and old friends Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to explore how narratives help break through our silos and fears under this second Trump administration. Gavin's works as a writer, director, producer have brought millions of views to social justice storytelling; she is also founder of Gavin Creative Collab and founding artistic director of Brava! for Women in the Arts. Huerta is co-founder of the United Farm Workers alongside César Chávez and founder and president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Still organizing at 95 years old, she is recognized as one of the most influential labor organizers of the twentieth century and coined the iconic rallying cry “Si Se Puede.” She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Find out how narratives shatter fear and build movements, plus a commentary from Laura. “. . . We want people to be on our team. We want people to be touched in a way that says, ‘I want to be that neighbor. I want to be that helper. I want to be that person who sees something and does something instead of reacts with fear.' When they say that fear is contagious, and then they say, courage is contagious.” - Ellen Gavin“. . . In the farm, we didn't respond with violence . . . César [Chávez] fasted for 25 days and then 36 days . . .  The other side, they want us to respond with violence, and we can respond with non-violence because they would like to have martial law for the whole country.

The Sleepy Lagoon case of 1942 became one of the most racially charged trials in U.S. history. Twenty-two Mexican American youths, mostly teenagers, were tried en masse for the death of José Díaz, though no witness placed them at the scene and the cause of death was never established. Denied fair treatment, they faced a biased judge and jury, with twelve sentenced to San Quentin. In this documentary film, UC Santa Cruz's Bob Giges highlights the work of Alice McGrath, who was moved by the injustice and dedicated herself to the defense effort, visiting the imprisoned youths, organizing community support, and coordinating national fundraising. In 1944, the convictions were overturned on appeal, marking a rare victory for the Mexican American community. The case, later dramatized by Luis Valdez in Zoot Suit, is remembered as a turning point in civil rights and Chicano identity. Series: "Arts Channel " [Public Affairs] [Humanities] [Show ID: 40985]
