UNLV Professor Premieres Latino Film at CineVegas

The struggles of Latino families in America are the focus of a new movie premiering this week at the CineVegas Film Festival. A UNLV professor says he made the film to open the public’s eyes about what life is like for immigrants once they come to the U.S.

The movie is called “Primo” — in English that means cousin. It’s about three cousins who were separated as children during the civil war in El Salvador. Their journey through life brings them here to Las Vegas.”*
