STREET SMART: Lessons from a TV Icon is more than a documentary — it’s a story about representation, resilience, public media, and the power of television to shape identity and possibility.

As the film continues its festival run and expands into educational and community spaces, we are building the next phase to reach audiences.

Through our fiscal sponsorship with Bay Area Video Coalition, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations to STREET SMART are tax-deductible.

Your contribution supports:

  • Community and impact screenings nationwide

  • Partnerships with schools and libraries

  • Preservation & amplification of Latino television history

Every gift, large or small, helps bring Sonia Manzano’s inspirational story to the audiences who need it most. Thank you!
