(1981) Exiles That Never Left: Mexican-American Promise

29 minute video about some of the history of Mexican-American's in the southwest U.S. Hosted by the former elected mayor of San Antonio, Henry Cisneros, (who would later go on to work at the U.S. government federal level). Talks about the future of Hispanics in the U.S., foreign policy input, and themes of "not conquering, but co-existing".
This video also has strong references to the Catholic religion with scenes of communion, worship, song, and prayer meant to show people outside the community what mass/fellowship is. Values, traditions, new identities, and new labels discussed by a Catholic priest. This channel respects all people's right to choose to be religious or not.
