Nestled amid the picturesque landscapes of West Marin, California, a tight-knit collective of Latinx photographers has not only cultivated their artistic endeavors but also forged a resilient community. The bilingual and award-winning documentary, “The Latinx Photography Project,” is now available on the PBS app and is set to grace screens on local PBS and World Channels across the United States from September 15 to 26.

In its inception in 2003, the Latino Photography Project aimed to empower Latina women living on ranches in West Marin, California, by equipping them with essential tools for literacy, photography, and computer skills. Filmmaker Alejandro Palacios, who settled in the region almost a decade ago, stumbled upon this group and embarked on a journey to capture its transformative impact.
Alejandro Palacios elaborates, “This project opened doors for individuals who might not have otherwise had the opportunity to learn or showcase their work in a gallery setting. Being an immigrant and an artist within this community, I strongly resonated with their narratives. I was compelled to delve deeper into the lives of these passionate and resilient photographers.”
