Lupe & JuanDi from the Block
Fulana
New York, 2003, 5 min.
El Indio Juan Diego is excited because he turned white when he was canonized by the Vatican (cross-over make-over). The Virgin of Guadalupe is not so thrilled. Inspired by Our Lady of JLo, the Fulanas stage an imaginary war of words between the "Brown Virgin" (G-Loop) and the new JuanDi.

Operation Blue Blood
Fulana
New York, 2006, 1:27 min.
During the first week of September 2005, as Hurricane Katrina victims were stranded in New Orleans, ignored by FEMA and the Bush Administration, we asked ourselves: What would be happening if the victims weren't mostly poor and black? What if the hurricane had hit a rich neighborhood instead? Operation Blue Blood: You're In.

Tercer Impacto: Hispanacea
Fulana
New York, 2007, 6 min.
Immigrant Latinas—with little education or health care—live longer than anyone in the US (the New York Times calls this "The Hispanic Paradox"). What if Latinas' longevity could be extracted and marketed as a health supplement? Find out on Tercer Impacto, as hard-hitting journalists Barbi and Fabi report on Hispanacea: Your Fountain of Youth. Feel the force that is sweeping the nation!
