               In partnership with local school districts and educator
               organizations across the state, Farmers will provide teachers
               with 10,000 copies of the highly-acclaimed documentary,
               The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latino Image in
               Hollywood.  The free copies will be available in DVD or VHS

               companion teaching guide that includes lessons plans
               applicable across academic subjects and grade levels.

               Farmers will also host an Historia (or Story) competition
               that invites students in grades 6-12 to tell a story about a
               person, place or event that is important to them.  Entries
               will be accepted as either written compositions or
               finished videos.
