From Desperate Housewives to James Dean: 3 Latino Documentaries You Can Stream For Free

While things are undoubtedly getting better for Latinos — and minorities in general — on television (shout out in order to Jane the Virgin), it’s easy to forget that U.S. Latinos have long had a televisual champion in our corner, fighting from one funding cycle to the next to make sure our stories get told. No, we’re not talking about Mun2, or MTV tr3s, or any other word spelled out with a number. We’re talking about public television (spelled PBS), and somewhere embedded within its tentacular, publicly-funded broadcast empire is a little something called Latino Public Broadcasting.

With over 85 prestigious awards racked up in the last five years alone, it’s fair to said that Latino Public Broadcasting is doing its part to share the rich diversity of the Latino experience here in the U.S., while also holding things down in the quality control department. Bottom line is, if LPB puts something out, you know it’s going to be good, which is why we were pumped up for the new season of VOCES, PBS’ signature Latino arts and culture showcase that aired through the month of April. In case you missed the broadcast or are one of those pesky cord cutters, we got the hook up.

Here are all the movies and where you can stream them for free.
