Most Americans engage in “retail therapy” from time to time, but what form does it take among immigrant populations? Is excessive shopping a way of coming to grips with a new culture—and leaving another behind? This program examines that possibility in the context of the Latino community, raising provocative questions about cultural identity, consumerism, and assimilation. Ten first-generation immigrants from various Latin American countries—including Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, and Peru—share their thoughts and experiences, shedding light on the transition from impoverished environs to the wealthiest and most extravagant society in the world. (Spanish with English subtitles, 30 minutes)
