Cruce De Caminos Inc

CRUCE DE CAMINOS (THE ORGANIZATION) IS DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING AND PROVIDING THOUGHT-PROVOKING EDUCATION MATERIALS FOR LEARNING ABOUT THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF MEXICAN AND MEXICAN AMERICAN PEOPLES IN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. AT A TIME WHEN LATINO IMMIGRATION AND ESPECIALLY THE MEXICAN POPULATION IN THE US ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL IDENTITY OF US SOCIETY, IT IS IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE OURSELVES ABOUT THE HISTORICAL TRADITIONS AND CULTURAL PRACTICES OF LATINOS. THE ORGANIZATION IS USING ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH, INTERVIEWS, PHOTOGRAPHY, CREATIVE WRITING, AND FILM TO DEVELOP EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN VARIOUS MEDIA FORMAT DEDICATED TO INFORMING AUDIENCES ABOUT THE DIVERSE CONTRIBUTIONS AND STRUGGLES OF LATINO PEOPLES. SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE DEVELOPING DOCUMENTARY FILM AND BOOK PROJECTS TELLING THE STORY OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL MIGRATIONS AND THE CULTURAL EXCHANGES THAT HAVE AND ARE TAKING PLACE BETWEEN MEXICAN AMERICAN AND OTHER SOCIETIES IN THE US. THESE PROJECTS WILL BE USED IN SCHOOLS, MEDIA OUTLETS AND BOOK FORMS. ALSO, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE DOCUMENTARY FILMS WILL BE SHOWN ON NON-COMMERCIAL STATIONS SUCH AS ON LOCAL PUBLIC BROADCASTING STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE US.
