Luis Rodriguez: Opening Doors to Language, Heritage, and Expression

Meet one for ACTA's most celebrated teaching artists: Los Angeles Poet Laureate Luis Rodriguez. Luis is a writer, painter, and activist who joined our Arts in Corrections program last year to teach a 13-week course in creative writing. He shares the ups and downs of his own life--including his history with gangs, drugs, and incarceration--to open a path for his students to express their own stories. Watch the video to go inside the California State Prison, Los Angeles County and see how Luis leads his students from trauma to transformation through the art of writing.

Film produced by Sara Aguilar in collaboration with ACTA.
