Coverage
Nuestro Barrio is
a new mini-series produced in
North Carolina
about Hispanic life in the United States. The show
uses the popular “telenovela,” or soap opera format
but infuses the drama, jealousy, and romance with
educational messages.
North Carolina
has the fastest growing Latino population of any state
in the nation. So
Nuestro Barrio, which translates as Our Neighborhood,
couldn’t come at a better time.
The show addresses important financial issues
faced by Hispanic individuals and families living in the
United States, including home ownership, credit and predatory
lending.
Dilsey Davis,
producer and director of the show, refers to Nuestro
Barrio as a hybrid.
“It isn’t your typical educational video,
with informational talking heads, nor is it your typical
telenovela, where there is no message or the message is
so imbedded in the program that it gets completely
overlooked.” The
goal is to find a balance between entertainment and
providing useful information.
CRA-NC, which
produces Nuestro Barrio, is currently in talks to
distribute the show through television networks across
the US.
