If you live in San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego, be sure to catch the California Documentary Project film “Chicano Rock! The Sounds of East Los Angeles” on your local public television station — and tell us what you think. The film chronicles the lively, little-known story of how young Mexican Americans in East Los Angeles and nearby barrios — caught between two cultures and not fully accepted in either — found their identity by creating a new musical form — a blend of white rock, black soul and Latin rhythms. Far more than a local or Chicano story, the experience is all-American, a reflection and inspiration to all hyphenates in their journey to becoming Americans.
