Hispanic Ameircan movie: Selena



For the movie I chose "Selena" because it shows one girls journey to stardom that started with her having to embrace her heritage and her getting back to her parents roots.  She is told by her father that she needs to start her career by singing in spainsh so that she can know who she really is before she sets out for fame and fortune.  She fights this at first because she never even learned spanish but eventually she discovers that she was wrong and listens to her father. 
I think that this movie is a good example of kids that have to struggle with what their heritage really is because their parents immigrated.
