“Rain of Gold” Milestone

as the Hermanitas® program. Recently, after viewing another previously aired “Latino” special, one of our Hermanitas® asked why they had only shown the worst examples of Latino youth. Where were stories like hers? Even though she had lived in a car with her mother and siblings, she was graduating from high school with honors, entering college and working part time to earn the American Dream.

To our Hermanita and thousands like her I say your wishes have been heard and HBO is giving us “Rain of Gold”. MANA is proud to support HBO’s efforts in showing true stories of the American Latino, and giving our youth the opportunity to see portrayals of stories, much like their own.

HBO is to be applauded for giving us a true picture of Hispanics. Let’s all let HBO Co-President Richard Plepler know we are very pleased and will be watching for the series.
