“Somos Esenciales” tells the stories of Latino Essential Workers at the Mission Food Hub in San Francisco. The film shows the resilience and self determination of the Latino community to respond to the COVID pandemic by relying on cultural practices such as food pathways, healing circles, lowriding, volunteering and arts practices to address the decline in mental health. Ultimately, "Somos Esenciales" puts a face on who Essential Workers are in the Latino community by sharing what they have endured and also what they hope for in the future. Created and Produced by Paul S. Flores, directed by Rafael Flores. VIEW FULL SOMOS ESENCIALES DOCUMENTARY HERE
