About this film
As newspapers nationally struggle to survive... La Gaceta successfully celebrates a century of news, political drama, threats, Hoover’s FBI, communist witch-hunts, along with a wonderful collection of stories and vintage photographs depicting everyday life over the past century.
This newspaper has been a mainstay for generations and survives as a result of a local family’s perseverance and dedication to community.
Our La Gaceta documentary tells the Manteiga family’s extraordinary story... their fears, struggle and century of success.
La Gaceta is the only trilingual newspaper in the United States. This documentary honors that by also being trilingual.
