Hopelessly romantic people are people who like to dream. Often, this means living out romantic fantasies through the film industry. But if you happen to be a Latinx person of color like this week's host, Fernanda, you might have noticed it's often hard to see yourself and the people of your community represented in romantic films. Latinx stories and characters in Hollywood have repeatedly been pushed to the margins. In today's episode, we're exploring exactly why that is and what it means to see more recognition and representation in Hollywood.

Joining Fernanda is LA film critic and freelance writer, Carlos Aguilar (@carlos_film) to discuss movies, representation, and more in the Brown Breakdown.
