My Community/Mi Comunidad

Nearly 2,000 visitors to Denver, Colarado’s Museo de las Americas viewed the COVID-19 film “My Community/Mi Comunidad,” created by Latino filmmaker, Manuel Aragon. The film featured the voices of local Latino artists who shared their experiences with the COVID-19 vaccine, and was screened as part of the museum’s Cultural First Friday event in July 2022.. Volunteers distributed flyers and surveys to interested visitors, and 81% of respondents answered that they were likely to receive the COVID-19 vaccine or booster after seeing the film.
