Watch Robert Rodriguez’s DNC Video ‘Our America’
Director and El Rey Network founder Robert Rodriguez hit the stage last night at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to show his newest work — the short Our America. The video, which clocks in at 1 minute and 54 seconds, stresses the nation’s multicultural roots and is part of the push to get out the vote among Latinos — his target audience on El Rey.
“I made this film you just saw because there has never been a more important time for building understanding among people, by telling our stories,” Rodriguez said onstage after the video. “I grew up in San Antonio Texas, a family of 10 kids, and it was there that i realized that storytelling amplifies our voice. To my fellow Latinos, that voice is our vote.”
He concluded, “It’s time to elect Hillary Clinton the next president of Our America.”
