Steven Bender is a law professor at Seattle University. He writes about the policies and issues that surround Mexican–Americans, and he's kind of obsessed with deconstructing what popular culture tells us about the lives and experiences of Latinos because he's seen a lot of negative stereotypes. Professor Bender talked with KUOW's Jamala Henderson about watching three films that present a more nuanced portrayal of Mexicans and the Mexican–American experience.
