Latin waves host Sylvia Richard­son speaks with film mak­er Jesse Free­ston, about the art for social justice.

his film Resisten­cia released in 2015 was a gift to the untold his­to­ries of strug­gled in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca against impe­ri­al­ism, col­o­niza­tion and the onslaught of neolib­er­al­ism for the past 30 years. He speaks of why art is not only essen­tial for our own spir­i­tu­al well being, but also for our move­ments towards social justice.
