"American Homeboy" - Denver Colorado (Su Teatro Arts Center)

Compas Car Club 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, directed by Brandon Loran Maxwell, 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.

American Homeboy is a doc film that explores the complex origins of pachuco and cholo culture against the backdrop of the Chicano Movement.
