From culture, music and art to history, news and public affairs- our work is richly diverse. Specializing in long form documentary, Galán Inc. is known for creating quality films that appeal to a wide audience and are highly entertaining, enlightening- as well as historically and culturally significant. Our goal is to create documentary films with high standards of creativity and quality- “evergreens”- that will be enjoyed for generations to come, crossing borders and becoming part of the cultural and historical record. Galán Inc.’s productions on the Latino experience in America have been groundbreaking and our music documentaries have become classics of their genre. The landmark four hour PBS series Chicano! The Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, Songs of the Homeland, Vaquero: The Forgotten Cowboy, Cuba: Personal Journey, The Forgotten Americans, New Harvest, Old Shame, Los Mineros, Accordion Dreams, and the six episode series, Visiones: Latino Art & Culture, have made a great impact, appealing to U.S. Latino communities of all ages and from all over the United States- urban and rural- as well as to mainstream America. Many of our documentary films are in media library collections at public schools, colleges, and universities throughout the country.

In 2008, two of Hector Galán’s latest documentary films, A Migrants Masterpiece The Life and Legacy of Patrick Flores (Summer/Fall 2008) and Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads(September 2008) will be broadcast on PBS. Check your PBS local listing.
