| Summary: | Surveys the contemporary Chicano art movement by tracing its development during the height of Chicano political activism in the late sixties and seventies, blending archival footage with interviews with the artists and samples of their work, inlcuding photos, murals, graphics, films, paintings, and ephemeral art. In explaining how the socio-political climate and events such as the Chicano Moratorium, the United Farm Workers struggle, and political prisoners' defense campaigns influenced their art, the artists also discuss related issues such as Mexican-Americans' struggle for civil rights and their quest for ethnic identity amid a bilingual and bi-cultural community.
