Chicano Hollywood is a movement birthed on the set of the feature film, "Horchata with Oat Milk". On that set a bunch of Chicano filmmakers created a story about the adjustments and effects of gentrification with the theme of "whether good or bad change happens". In similar fashion that story epitomizes the current social standing of Chicanos nationwide, including in Hollywood. https://chicanohollywood.tv/termsandconditions
