Celluloid Sunday

Sent on a covert mission in Latin America in 1983, Vietnam veteran Eddie Guerrero's allegiance to the U.S. military begins to unravel as his growing awareness of his Latino heritage his role in an imperial conflict leads him to identify with the people he is meant to oppose.

Filmmaker Haskell Wexler here uses the same blend of fiction and real footage as in Medium Cool (1969), emphasised only more so by its epigraph:

The story of Latino is fiction. The events depicted are fact.

The film is presented on a 35mm print from the ICA Archives.
