The rich tapestry of the Latino experience in the U.S. will be explored during the next four Mondays as Latino Public Broadcasting's signature series VOCES returns, this time in a fully digital format that is being branded as VOCES SHORTS. The season premiers tonight with the narrative short film The Kill Floor which will be streaming through PBS.org and the PBS App, available on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV and many other services.

Besides The Kill Floor, which takes us into a meatpacking plant where a predominantly Latino workforce has to face the perils of the early stages of the pandemic, the full slate of short films includes Sentir el Son, directed by Karla B. Duarte (February 19), When it's Good, it's Good, directed by Alejandra Vásquez (February 26) and Sabor Ártico: Latinos en Alaska, directed by Indra Arriaga Delgado (March 4).
