Carnival

The article does a good job in exploring the history of cultural unity within the United States in South and Central America. While the article talked about the unity of different cultural groups and the celebration of Cinco de Mayo in San Francisco, the film was a visual expression of the unity of culture in Bahia.
Different cultural backgrounds were united in a 5 day celebration which incorporated song and dance, although the different social classes would typically divide these groups. It was compelling to see how these distinct groups, each with their own distinct customs and traditions, were able to express themselves with freedom and acceptance.
The film was a great way to see the written words of the article, although different location and demographics. Both the article and video described the cultural unity the Hispanic population shared, despite their individual differences.
