We Made San Diego- For All
Directed by David Sawicki
Highlights the struggles and breakthroughs of Latinos, Chicanos and Mexican-Americans who helped create the San Diego that millions enjoy through short family-friendly videos made for all ages. Stories that inform, inspire and educate. Stories of resilience and perseverance. Stories of givers- not takers, who gave selflessly to all cultures.
Return Engagement

Athenia’s Last Voyage
