This collection of films portrays Mexican and Mexican-American culture in the 1930s to the 1960s and demonstrates the cultural and economical importance to California. The three films run for 45 minutes and some footage is silent.
The first film is A Street of Memory filmed in 1937. This film is a beautiful portrayal of the life and culture lived Olvera Street and the old Mexican quarter in Los Angeles, California.
The second film is Why Braceros? filmed in 1959. This film was produced to justify the Government run Bracero farm labor program to the general public.
