Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

  Charles talks with Hector Galán, producer & director of "Children of Giant," a documentary which examined in further detail how the 1956 epic film "Giant" portrayed social issues that hadn't been covered in Hollywood films at the time, including feminism, class division, and the discrimination faced by Mexican-Americans. In this online-only version of the interview, Galán talks about the unity felt on the set by the actors and the locals, and about the segregation that resumed following the film's production.
