In the 1960s, Luis Valdez started performing theater on a flatbed truck for farmworkers on strike in Delano. He took a figure that mainstream America saw as dangerous, the pachuco, and put him center stage. First on Broadway with Zoot Suit. Then in Hollywood with La Bamba. 60 years later, his message hasn’t softened. A new documentary, American Pachuco, traces how he did it. This week on Latino USA, Maria Hinojosa talks with Valdez and director David Alvarado.
