Broadcast Links

During every POV broadcast, we let viewers know they can find out more about certain topics on the POV website by running text alerts across the bottom of the TV screen. Some of the alerts describe features on the POV website and others are about resources we've linked to elsewhere online. In order to make it easier for you to find the features and links related to these topics, we've put together this new resource page listing all the alerts in one place.

Comment on this film
After completion of the statue, everyone in El Paso was forced to come to terms with a landmark that is viewed by some as a monument to culture and others as a glorification of genocide. What is your perspective on the statue? What perspectives does it celebrate and what does it leave out? What does this story tell us about ourselves as a nation? Join other The Last Conquistador viewers to discuss the film.

When art becomes public it is no longer fantasy alone. It becomes a long term political act.”
