PBS.org has acquired Against Mexico-the making of heroes and enemies a short documentary film that I produced and directed.
Against Mexico enters the world of historical reenactments of Texas’ ‘fight for freedom’ to explore the nexus of myth and history in creating images of heroes and enemies and its implication for who is entitled to claim the mantle of ‘American.’
The film in its 13 minute entirety can be accessed at PBS.org
