Social Documentation Professor John Jota Leaños is the recipient of a 2017 California Documetnary Project grant from California Humanites.
Leaños will be using the grant to support ¡Eureka!--a multi-platform, half-hour animated documentary and interactive graphic novel that traces key moments of colonial California and the making of the West from Native and Latina/o perspectives. Leaños’s project was one of 14 new film, audio and interactive media projects documenting vital California subjects and issues that were awarded California Documentary Project grants this year totaling $400,000.
Congratulations, John!
