Alternative Chicano films are not readily
available. Currently, you have to be taking a Chicano cinema course, be
lucky enough to catch a museum exhibit, or have access to university
archives in order to see these films. Sure, you can find La Bamba and
Desperado at any major video store, but if you want to see the other works
you will have to dig a little deeper. The following are some links to
distributors that are on the web. If you are a distributor of Chicano
films and are not listed below, send me your URL and film information and
I'll be glad to add you onto the page.
