In NYC this week at the LATISM conference at the Waldorf: Maria Agui Carter REBEL writer/Director speaking in “STORIES THAT CHANGE OUR WORLD” panel Saturday, September 21 • 10:00am – 11:00am http://conference.latism.org/agenda/

Good stories can move people to laughter, to tears and most importantly, to action. Filmmakers are creating content to raise awareness about the ever-changing and diverse Latino experience, our actions for social good, and the importance of social justice. They’re one step ahead, using the digital space as their soap box.
