I added a link or two to that post (http://thewarehous.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-want-to-see-this-afro-latinos.html)but at the time I didn't have much information on the background of the documentary, who made it and the like. I do now though...

Who are Afro-Latinos?
Afro-Latinos are the descendents of the enslaved Africans who were forcibly taken from their land and dispersed throughout Latin America.
There are an estimated 200 million Afro-descendants throughout Latin America; yet the majority, have no political or economic power. Afro-Latinos: The Untaught Story will take you on a journey to meet Afro-Latinos throughout Spanish and Portuguese speaking nations of Central and South America and the Caribbean. It is the story of a shared history not found in textbooks. This film gives a voice to communities who have been invisible until now.
