Most Argentines, if you ask, will tell you: "In Argentina there are no black people".

The story that unfolds provides a counter narrative to the national myth of Argentina's exclusively European heritage. –

Since 1968, Third World Newsreel (TWN) has advanced movement storytelling and media arts for cultural and social justice. We champion the self-representation of historically marginalized communities—including Black, Latine, Indigenous, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, North African, Mixed/Multiracial, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—through diverse genres and forms of media, such as documentary, experimental, and fiction. Our comprehensive support includes hands-on training, fiscal sponsorship, educational distribution, and preservation, all designed to advance cultural justice and societal change. Our aim is to facilitate their efforts to create, engage, and amplify their stories, propelling audiences to action.
