Congressman Joaquin Castro Calls for Latino Film Suggestions for National Film Registry
Congressman Joaquin Castro has made his annual call for Latino films for the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress.
“As my office launches our third annual public call for nominations, I’m excited to hear from folks across the country about the Latino-driven movies that have had an enduring impact on their lives. In 2021, as chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressman Castro successfully advocated for including Gregory Nava’s biopic “Selena” (1997), starring Jennifer Lopez. In subsequent years, two other Latino-centric films were added following recommendations from the Congressman’s initiative, both by Robert M. Young: “The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez” (1982), with Edward James Olmos, and “Alambrista!” (1977), with Domingo Ambriz.
