A Class Apart: A Mexican American Civil Rights Story (2009)
Built around the landmark 1954 legal case Hernandez v. Texas, the film interweaves the stories of its central characters with a broader story of the civil rights movement. It also brings to life the heroic post-World War II struggle of Mexican Americans fighting to dismantle the discrimination targeted against them.
Directors: Carlos Sandoval, Peter Miller.
