In partnership w/ Carrera East, Wide Angle Youth Media & Adelante Familia

From the first documentary made by and about the Latino community in Baltimore
to this year's ground breakers, we salute Baltimore's Latino leaders young and
old on the big screen! The first of its kind, Adelante Familia's Opening Roads /
Abriendo Caminos (2002) documents Latino life in Charm City.  Mauricio Osorio's
The Room (2007) won at last year's CAmm Slamm, and his Elizabet (2007)
co-directed by David Long, tells the comical story of cultural miscommunications
between a hopeful young Colombian and his American future father-in-law.  Middle
and high school students from Carrera East's Mi Espacio afterschool program
working with Wide Angle Youth Media take the camera and tell it how it is,
exposing their lives from school to the streets.
