MINNEAPOLIS, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- It is nearly impossible to navigate everyday life in America without being able to speak English, especially when it comes to crucial matters like healthcare and finances, and daily tasks like grocery shopping or reading mail. Many first-generation Latinos are dependent on the youngest members of their family to communicate in English. Of adult first-generation Latinos, 23% say they can carry on a conversation in English very well. That number increases with each following generation, leaving the crucial task of translating in the hands of the youngest members of families.1 

Key Points: 
  • Many first-generation Latinos are dependent on the youngest members of their family to communicate in English.
  • Of adult first-generation Latinos, 23% say they can carry on a conversation in English very well.
  • "I hope viewers gain a deeper understanding and empathy toward the challenges faced by immigrant families, especially their children, through this film."
