"Los Tejanos: A 500-Year History is arguably the best documentary film ever produced that is dedicated exclusively to Mexican American history in Texas. Its singular success in this task is its unique ability to balance the colorful Spanish heritage of Tejanos against the darker racial conflict with Anglo America. It shows the rich beauty of Tejano ranching, music, and fiesta in juxtaposition to racial discrimination, working class poverty, and struggles for civil rights. But in this candid report, the takeaway message is that the Tejano community has defiantly preserved their Mexican culture while forging their role in American constitutional life. It is a credible argument for the struggle, the hopes, and dreams of a vibrant American people."
