San Antonio congressman seeks recommendations of Latino films for Library of Congress

U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, a Democrat whose district includes San Antonio’s West Side, is again asking constituents for suggestions which Latino-driven films should be inducted into the Library of Congress. Since 1988, the Library of Congress has chosen 25 films annually to include in the National Film Registry. Although the movies in the registry are considered to represent cultural, historical or aesthetic significance to the United States, only 5% of the 875 titles are Latino-driven, according to Castro.
