¡Qué Viva La Raza! Honoring a Denver Legacy is a 32minute documentary overview of the more than 150year history of the Mexicano, Chicano, Latino peoples in Denver. The film highlights voices from the community, including Rosa Linda Aguirre, who tells the story of her beloved restaurant Rosa Linda’s; founder and CEO of Tepeyac Community Health Center Jim Garcia recounts how members of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church stepped up to create the clinic and its evolution; artist and activist Santiago Jaramillo talks about bringing art to Westwood; and Federico Peña shares what it was really like to be Denver’s first Latino mayor. The I Am Denver film from the Denver Office of Storytelling includes Colorado State Historian Nicki Gonzales, who acted as a consultant for the city’s first Chicano/Latino Historic Context, of which this film is companion, and historian and professor Tom Noel, who is also known as Dr. Colorado. Packed with historic images and with no narrator or voice over, the film documents, honors and preserves this proud history in the voices of the people.
