This article argues that non-theatrical films made about East Los Angeles contain decolonial elements, even though the films were produced under various contexts to educate general audiences. It draws on archival material to examine films and English-language press articles and communiqués to chart a history of how Chicanas/os resisted against police brutality while engaging in anti-colonial and decolonial critiques.
This article was recipient of the 2021 Society for Cinema and Media Studies Latino Caucus Graduate Student Writing Award.
