The film, directed by José Luis López-Linares, a prominent figure in Spanish documentary filmmaking, explores the Hispanic influence on the territories that now form the United States, from historical figures to cultural connections.
The 118-minute film, in its original Spanish version, addresses the Hispanic roots of places like Florida, Alta California, New Mexico, and Louisiana, examining the heritage of key expeditions and individuals.
Through interviews with historians and experts such as María Elvira Roca Barea and Juan Miguel Zunzunegui, the documentary traces enduring cultural connections, from the Salamanca charro to the birth of blues and jazz.
This work concludes López-Linares' trilogy on Hispanidad, which began with España, la primera globalización (2021) and continued with Hispanoamérica, canto de vida y esperanza (2024). The premiere coincides with the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States.
Admission is 2 euros and tickets are available at the box office and online. The event takes place at the Sierra Norte Regional Center for Humanities, located at Av. de la Cabrera, 96.
