El Paso splits along lines of race and class over a monument to the Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate.

Renowned sculptor John Houser has a dream: to build the world's tallest bronze equestrian statue for the city of El Paso, Texas. He envisions a stunning monument to the Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate that will pay tribute to the contributions Hispanic people made to building the American West. But as the project nears completion, troubles arise. Native Americans are outraged - they remember Oñate as the man who brought genocide to their land and sold their children into slavery. As El Paso splits along lines of race and class, the artist must face the moral implications of his work. A co-production of Independent Television Service (ITVS). A co-presentation of Latino Public Broadcasting, Native American Public Telecommunications and KERA Dallas/Fort Worth. Producers/directors: John J. Valadez and Cristina Ibarra. Writer: John J.
