Students who choose to try out to be a part of a new documentary have the chance to become familiar with these three words.

The documentary, produced by the Center for New American Media, will follow  a student and their family on a two-week road trip to visit cultural points-of-interest, visit historical sites, and explore what it means to be Latino American.

“The purpose of this documentary is to teach the public television viewers about what it means to be Latino Americans,” casting coordinator, Susanne Mason said.

However, the casting office is looking for a somewhat specific composition in the family they select for the documentary.

“We want families with a mom and dad in their late 30s to late 40s with teenagers but we are all open to different types of families,” Mason said.

Students who plan to try out to be in the documentary must be prepared to write about their experience on a public blog during the two-week road trip.

“We are hoping to find a family with a teenager who will blog about the trip on the PBS website as the journey unfolds,” Mason said.

Mason said she believes this documentary could be eye opening for many  public television viewers.

“I think this could be a really fun new PBS series,” Mason said. “It would put a new perspective on what it means to be an American.
