Over the past month and a half, a number of Western media outlets have revisited a topic that has long been a hit for online publications.
In late February, The New York Times published “Inside Japan’s Chicano Subculture,” a video documenting a niche group in the country that is building an identity around a culture created by Mexican-Americans.
Journalist Walter Thompson-Hernandez traveled to the archipelago to interview many of the people involved in the subculture, ranging from those in the nation’s lowrider car community to Chicano-inspired musicians. The video also explores the producer’s own identity.
