Olken and Rocky Mountain PBS also won a Heartland Region Emmy last year for episode one of the "La Raza" series, "La Historia."
"La Raza de Colorado" is a factual celebration of the life, culture and history of Latinos in Colorado. "El Movimiento" focuses on the Chicano movement during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s. Chicano groups in Colorado mobilized to fight for fair treatment of farm workers, following César Chávez's famous boycotts, and they fought for ownership of land their ancestors had occupied for hundreds of years. Through riveting first-hand accounts, "El Movimiento" speaks to the significant social issues of our time — empowerment, identity, racial conflict, civil rights and cultural pride.
