Miguel: Up From Puerto Rico (1970) by Bert Salzman. Miguel, a Puerto Rican boy has moved to New York City with his family. He finds his ability to speak English and Spanish puts him at an advantage in assisting his family in their new surroundings. Miguel later stretches his ingenuity to an extreme when, to put food on his family's table, he goes fishing in the heavily polluted East River. A moving and amusing film with many suprises. Excellent 1970 film, giving a good image to Puerto Ricians who have settled in the states. The acting was very natural. Well directed, written and filmed. Excellent for multi-cultural studies. Miguel is a model for raising self esteem among all ethnic group youngsters! Awards: Winner Columbus Film Festival; Best in Category; Aired on CBS Childrens Film Festival; Columbus Film Festival Award; Producer: Bert Salzman; public domain video.

Origin Of films: ***
The early to mid-1970s were truly heady times for the educational film world. Fueled by the Johnson administration's "Great Society" philosophy, educational programs embraced themes of ethnic awareness and diversity, and school districts nationwide began demanding professional quality 16mm films that both encouraged and provoked classroom discussion. Learning Corporation of America, was a prime source for these types of films, and the maker of several of its most profound and dynamic films was Bert Salzman. Salzman was already a successful artist before embarking on a career as a filmmaker. In 1970, Linda Gottlieb of LCA asked him to choose three ethnic groups as focal points for his first LCA films. The films he did for LCA eventually ran to eight, including Oscar-winning Angel & Big Joe. Salzman infused each of these films which he wrote and directed with elements essential to great film of any genre: pathos, passion, and humor. Posted with permission from Bert Salzman.
