As a performer Leguizamo is great; as a historian a moron.
He acts like Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States is big news. It was written in 1980 and actually is read in many schools today. While I applaud his attempt to "educate" his audience, he needs to read a bit more himself. He intimates that Europeans waged biological warfare on Native Americans when no one had any idea about diseases back then. Europeans didn't "give" diseases to America. What an idiotic way to rewrite history! He needs to read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. He also needs to stop blaming European civilization for every modern problem in the world today-like he blames his personal problems on his ex-wife's divorce lawyer.
Once again, I'm being lectured to for being white and stupid by a guy who doesn'y know much at all about the history of the indigenous populations of North and South America. He also screams that every European contribution to society is a lie or stolen from some other culture.

7.5Plot summary
Latin History for Morons: John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway captures John's quest to cram 3,000 years of history into 90 minutes of stage time and bring a whole new set of historical characters back to life as one man. Infused throughout the documentary is John's special brand of humor and openness. The road to his ultimate goal - his next Broadway hit - unfolds in a fun, intriguing, and poignant adventure that not only offers an intimate look into the journey of a passionate artist, but also shines a light on the rarely-told stories of Latino heroes who made their mark on America. Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the one-man show taking shape, the film follows John's riveting process - from his early inspirations and research, to his first-ever comedy club tour, through workshops of the show - before culminating in performances at the historic Public Theater as he aims for a Broadway run. Along the way, John navigates the challenges of writing (and re-writing) history lessons meant to enlighten and entertain.
