Luis C. Garza documented the Chicano civil rights movement in Southern California to New York where he captured his own South Bronx neighborhood and demonstrations on women’s rights, as well as his experience at the World Peace Conference in Budapest, Hungary from the 1960s-70s. Now, having recently turned 80 and on the receiving end of questions about his background and extensive photographs in lieu of the 12-minute documentary, “RAZÓN DE SUR: Luis C. Garza,” directed by Alessandro Gentile which beautifully sums up his life and will be showcased at the Special Shorts Program: Latin/Latinx Film Series in Downtown LA on November 4, the rare Chicano photographer feels nothing but gratitude for the recognition he’s getting.
