A Love Letter To The Pachuco And Cholo Culture Close To LA’s Heart | LAist
That bigger picture led Loran Maxwell to spend the last three years producing American Homeboy, a new documentary that’s been screening in select cities. It comes to Santa Ana’s The Frida Cinema this Saturday, and to the Gardena Cinema in Gardena Oct. 12. Next month, the documentary is set to be on Chela TV, a new subscription streaming app dedicated to amplifying Chicano and Latino voices.
The movie combines interviews and archival footage to explore the rich history of pachuco and cholo culture, set against the backdrop of the Chicano and Mexican American experience that gave rise to it, in L.A. and around the Southwest.

Why it matters: Books that include LGBTQIA+ and critical race theory content have increasingly come under fire. In April, the Murrietta school board rejected similar books because they said it negatively portrayed former President Donald Trump and contained critical race theory elements. In May, Temecula’s school board rejected social studies books because they contained a section about Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected public official. These book bans resulted in a law signed on Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that will fine schools that ban books based solely on the inclusion of race, gender, or other identity groups.
