Expulsion & Memory: Descendants of the Hidden Jews
Not rated.
(1996, Canadian documentary, never broadcast)57 mins. Directed by Simcha Jacobovici and Roger Pyke.UGA Libraries Media Archives, Peabody Awards collection, 96076 DCT.
In 1492, with the stroke of a pen, fifteen hundred years of Jewish life in Spain came to an abrupt end. In a Medieval example of 'ethnic cleansing', the Jews of Spain were given a choice: expulsion or conversion. Half the community left, half converted. Many of the converted, known as 'Conversos', continued to practice Judaism in secret, establishing a way of life that has, remarkably, survived to the present day. Through extensive interviews with the children of secret believers, the film captures the modern day resurrection of something ethereal - the ghost of a people. The stories of these previously silent people unfold as we watch the phenomenon of a return to Judaism among the descendants of the former Spanish Jews.
Discussion following the screening will be led by Marina Herbst, a graduate student in Romance Languages.

Zoot Suit: The Play and the Promise
Not rated.
(Originally broadcast, 1978, KNXT, Los Angeles, CA)1 hour. Directed by Vincent Di Bona.UGA Libraries Media Archives, Peabody Awards collection, 78024 PST.
Discussion following the screening will be led by Dra. Roberta Fernández, Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Women’s Studies.
Zoot Suit: The Play and The Promise revolves around the play Zoot Suit, which was a huge success in Los Angeles. The play is the story of the mass trial of twenty-two Mexican American youths, nicknamed "zoot suiters" for their style of dress, for the murder of another young man in 1942. The documentary mixes scenes from the play, interviews with the playwright, actors, and real life participants in the events of the Forties. Old newsreel footage, headlines, and photographs help give a vivid feel for the wartime years, the trial, the zoot suit riots, and the racism of the period.

Zoot Suit
Rated R.
(1981)104 mins. Written and directed by Luis Valdez. Starring: Daniel Valdez, Edward James Olmos, Tyne Daly.UGA Libraries Media Dept., Received in processing.
The screen adaptation of Luis Valdez' musical play that gained acclaim on both the west coast and on Broadway. It is the story of the early 1940's and the conflicts between the dominant culture in Los Angeles and the young Hispanic males moving into the area. Self expression through the "zoot suit" (a man's suit of long jacket and pegged pants, always worn with a long keychain that looped almost to the ankle .... the rebellious fashion of young men) became a particular flash point.

The Fight in the Fields: César Chávez and the Farmworkers' Struggle
Not rated.
(1997, originally broadcast: PBS, Berkeley, CA)2 hours. Directed by Rick Tejada-Flores and Ray Telles.UGA Libraries Media Archives, Peabody Awards collection, 97165 DCT.
Dr. Lesley Feracho, Romance Languages and Institute for African American Studies, will lead the discussion following the screening.
The documentary tells the story of the United Farm Workers Union and its charismatic leader César Chávez. Cháves and his organization used the consumer boycott to win the support of millions of Americans for the farmworkers' fight for social justice, and the first farm labor contracts in American history. The farmworkers drew the support of Robert Kennedy, and were attacked by Ronald Reagan. When growers signed secret deals with the Teamsters Union, the UFW responded with massive strikes and civil disobedience. Finally, the farmworkers engineered the nation's first agricultural labor relations law. Their efforts inspired the Chicano activism of the 60's and 70's, and profoundly changed American society.

This program explores the festival known as Days of the Dead (Días de los muertos), highlighting Mexican traditions and ancient ways that still exist. Each year during the last week of October, Mexican communities begin preparations for an age-old festival. For each family, it is a remembrance of a departed loved one. On a larger scale, it also memorializes all ancestral Mexicans and the gifts they passed on to their descendants, especially food and culture. The program focuses on the special foods that are made for this time of year: Sugar Skull candies; pulque; Bread of the Dead; and Mole Poblano. The holiday climaxes on the night of November 1st when family members decorate the grave sites and spend the entire night sitting at the grave site waiting for the 'Ancestors' to return.
