Un relato de primera mano de los acontecimientos desgarradores que ocurrieron el 29 de agosto de 1970 en Laguna Park y los hechos que sucedieron después— incluyendo el asesinato del periodista Chicano, Rubén Salazar. Este documental estudiantil es un recuento íntimo de una de las mayores manifestaciones pacíficas de Chicanos en EE.UU. y de las acciones violentas realizados por el Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de Los Ángeles en contra de los manifestantes quienes protestaban el notable reclutamiento de Chicanos para enviarlos a la Guerra Vietnam y la iniquidad que vivía la comunidad. (translation by Michael Pazmino)
------
A harrowing, eyewitness documentary of the events of August 29, 1970, at Laguna Park and their immediate aftermath—including the murder of Chicano journalist, Ruben Salazar. In contrast to biased TV news reports of the period, this student-made short offers an impassioned, unvarnished community account of the unrest and violence unleashed by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in response to the otherwise peaceful march in protest of disproportionate Chicano casualties in the Vietnam War.
Producer: Nikolai Sherbin, Thomas Myrdahl. Director: Thomas Myrdahl. Cinematographer: Nikolai Sherbin, Carlos Chavez, Jose Rivera, Thomas Myrdahl, John Hunt. Editor: Thomas Myrdahl.
Special thanks to Thomas Myrdahl.
