What's On In April?
In this month's edition:
POV and Cinema Tropical ([link removed]) are proud to present Bridging Worlds: Exploring Latin American and Latinx Stories Across Borders and Cultures ([link removed]) , a co-curated collection featuring films from POV's impressive catalog of U.S. Latinx and Latin American cinema. Each week, we highlight a feature-length film with a short, exploring topics and issues such as aging, gender expression, immigration, and childhood. Through these thought-provoking and engaging stories, Bridging Worlds offers a glimpse into the dazzling artistry of Latin American and Latinx filmmakers while sparking insightful conversations about the experiences and challenges faced by these communities in both the U.S. and Latin America.
In celebration of Arab American Heritage Month ([link removed]) , POV showcases critically acclaimed work with multifaceted and multilingual perspectives on the Arab American experience. Mayor ([link removed]) portrays a Palestinian mayor's challenges in governing his city. An Act of Worship ([link removed]) explores the past 30 years of American history through the perspective of Muslims across the U.S. who have lived it. And A Broken House ([link removed]) showcases Syrian architect Mohamad Hafez's miniatures of his beloved Damascus, offering a poignant take on displacement and loss.

We believe that everyone should have access to our documentaries, and that's why you can stream all of the films on the POV website ([link removed]) and the PBS App ([link removed]) . Make sure to follow us on social media for behind-the-scenes content, interviews with the filmmakers, and more!

After you watch, we'd also love to hear from you! Send us your thoughts, shoutouts, and ideas for future programming at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
