We start this episode in the barrio, in Manhattan to learn about the work of the non-profit foundation "El Taller." Its founder and artistic director, Bernardo Palombo, talks about its different cultural and artistic programs which seek to broaden the horizon of the new immigrants as well as create a modern sense of community.
We then go to Washington Heights to New York's Dominican Film Festival. There we talk to the Dominican director Alejandro Andújar about his award-winning film, "El Hombre quen Cuida," along Héctor Aníbal, the lead actor, and we talk about the inspiration for his work as well as the film's production process.
Then, in Queens, Patricio Lerzundi interviews Carlos Villegas, who since his adolescence in Colombia felt curious about studying the production process of suits that would lead him to create the Excalibur suit in New York. This and other inventions led Carlos to write "Archetype of the modern man."
We conclude in Midtown, where we meet Californian filmmaker Daresha Kyi. She talks about her documentary, "Chavela," which won second place in the Berlin Film Festival. She also talks about how her Mexican friends led her to know the personality of Chavela Vargas and how easy it was for her to decide to co-direct this project.

Nueva York is an Emmy award winning series about Latino culture in New York. The 30-minute show explores the rich textures of Latino society in the city, focusing on politics, art, culture, and the traditions of Spanish-speaking populations across the metropolitan area.

Each episode features prominent leaders from the tri-state area's cultural and public spheres sharing their thoughts and accomplishments with viewers. Interviews are hosted by Mexican novelist and critic Carmen Boullosa and Chilean journalist and writer Patricio Lerzundi. The general producer is Professor Jerry Carlson, specialist in Latin American cinema. They are all members of the academic staff at CUNY. The series is produced by bilingual professionals from Colombia, Guatemala, Massachusetts, Mexico, and Texas. In addition, the series offers documentary segments about events, exhibits, concerts, and institutions.

Since its first broadcast, Nueva York has built cultural and social ties between Latinos, and amongst Spanish speaking non-Latino communities. Each episode is subtitled in English so that the largest numbers of viewers may appreciate more fully the richness and diversity of the cultural and humanitarian expression of the Spanish-speaking communities in the city. It is a television program that seeks to present the image of the social, educational and economic aspirations of the generations of immigrants and emigrants who have sought a better quality of life for themselves and their families. Nueva York won a New York Emmy in 2009, and two more in 2010. The series premiered on CUNY TV on October 6, 2005. Nueva York also airs on Channel 22 in Mexico, and Channel 11 in Panama.
