Documentary on Latino Family in NYC
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Nuyorican Dreams, a 1999 documentary directed by Laurie Collyer, which focuses on the family of Marta Torres, an immigrant from Puerto Rico who came to New York in search of the American Dream and a better life for herself and her family, but instead found an American "nightmare" (Bell-Russel, 2000). The term "Nuyorican," according to Torres refers to someone who is of Puerto Rican extraction but who knows nothing of their Puerto Rican heritage or culture. As such, the documentary pictures this population as a people adrift --stigmatized within the US by white mainstream culture, yet not able to fall back on a sense of belonging to Puerto Rican culture because these cultural values and perspectives have not been transmitted successfully to the next generation due to environmental influences. This situation has huge implications from a health perspective, and the documentary explores the drug-related problems of Torres' grown children. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
