This October, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, amplify Latinx stories and Native voices, and recognize environmental action and American democracy with a special presentation of Latino Public Broadcasting's VOCES, a new climate change film and the start of the eighth season of Stories from the Stage.
The American Vice President tells the little-known story of the second-highest office in the land, tracing its evolution from a constitutional afterthought to a position of political consequence. Focusing on the fraught period between 1963 and 1974, the film examines the passage and first uses of the 25th Amendment and offers a fresh perspective on succession in the executive branch.
From Here, From There (De Aquí/De Allá)
