"American Homeboy" - Movie Screening and Lowrider Show (Portland)

Chela Media and Saint Lows presents a special screening of "American Homeboy," a documentary film that explores the complex origins of pachuco and cholo culture which sprouted from American soil in response to wartime sentiment, social alienation, and government discrimination only to become a pop culture phenomenon. The film draws from rare interviews shot on 5k with leading Mexican American historians, academics, artists, activists, cholos, and former law enforcement officers against a backdrop of 50 hours of restored archival footage.

LOCATION

The film will be screened at the PCC performing Arts Center (Pac Center) on the Sylvania Campus. There will also be a lowrider car show prior to the show in Parking Lot 11 across from the bookstore.
