Tiburcio Vasquez - The Lost Bandido Trailer

Hello Friends:

I am writing to share my latest project with you, a documentary on the legendary California bandido Tiburcio Vasquez. Tiburcio Vasquez was born in Monterrey, California in 1835 and hanged by the state in 1875. Through Tiburcios life, the film will examine the social and political circumstances that Chicanos lived under after the American takeover in 1848. It is vital for our progress as a community to know where we have been and to educate other ethnic groups about Chicano history.

My work-in-progress film, Tiburcio Vasquez: The Lost Bandido, is intended for national broadcast and educational distribution. It will provide an opportunity to document U.S. history from a perspective that is lacking in historical works of 18th century Western history, the Chicanos perspective. This film will also present a white American perspective through newspaper accounts, law enforcement officials and historians. There will be enough evidence presented for both sides that will allow the audience to decide whether Tiburcio was a dangerous cutthroat or a revolutionary and social bandit.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to secure the necessary funding from traditional sources to complete this project. Therefore, I am reaching out to the community for donations. With enough funds, I will be able to finish the documentary within a year.

Your generous contribution is appreciated.
