Filmmaker Moctesuma Esparza Reflects on 'Requiem-29'

In August 1970, students in UCLA’s “ethno-communications” program took on a class project — a film that documents the 1970 Chicano Moratorium against the war in Vietnam. The film, “Requiem-29,” presents footage of the march in East L.A., the brutal police response and an investigation into the killing of journalist Ruben Salazar. Filmmaker Moctesuma Esparza reflects on "Requiem-29," decades later.
