Dora Leticia joins La Americana as the Campaign Director

We would like to welcome her to La Americana and People’s Television!

Dora Leticia is of mexican descent, whose parents immigrated to the United States in the late 60’s.

She is an independent documentary photographer and artist, currently residing in New York. She has photographed extensively in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and Chile, capturing the essence of the human struggle. She is also the Founder of Lens Ethics.

She is committed to this project because she supports immigration reform and like the film’s Director, does not believe in the borders (of any kind) that divide us.

About her new role with La Americana, Dora Leticia said:

“I tend to be drawn towards attitudes that are geared towards humanity, globalization and a sense of responsibility to the global communities that bind us. Having that in common with the staff pretty much sealed the deal. It takes a special kind of film to tackle this issue in the way that La Americana has. It is a great documentary and I can relate to the experiences depicted in the film. Not because I am an undocumented immigrant, I am not, I was born in the U.S. But, my parents had similar hardships. And being a witness to that all of my life…well, how can you not get involved in some way? The stories of immigrants…they all seem to be connected in a universal way. The film captures the true essence of what it is like for many. The stories may be different, but, the nature of the experience, the struggle…it feels we are all pulling on the same string…trying to make a better life. It’s not just an immigrant thing, it’s the stuff of human beings. Bringing these experiences to light is essential to our progress as human beings in our efforts to get it right. I am honored to be a part of that.”
