ABOUT THE FILM-
In 2001, LPB offered a call for emerging producers to create a one minute interstitial that showcased or represented the Latino community for general audiences. Ten projects were selected ranging from animation to biographies. Many of these producers have moved forward in their careers and are NOW producing nationally for public and commercial television. In 2009, the interstitials are now offered online.
Latina Trailblazers is a short biography of Latina pioneer Ellen Ochoa. The piece deals with her voyage from a child growing up in La Meza California, to her current position as the first Latina astronaut.
