Documentary: Discover Latino History & The Latino Influence On the United States (2005). TMW Media

A 17-minute history of Latino influence on the U.S.

This is the sort of video that I might have seen in middle school or early high school in the 1980s with a bubble test afterward. It bullet points historical points on Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba. It brings up the Monroe Doctrine, but does not explain it. In the Cuba portion, it describes the Bay of Pigs but doesn't mention it by name.

The Latino perspective and influences on the U.S. are limited to a mention of some cultural and political players such as Desi Arnaz and César Chavez. In essence, it is what you might expect from a 17-minute documentary.
