No Such Thing as Too Much Truth: Saving Ethnic Studies in Arizona: Curtis Acosta and Jose Gonzalez, la raza program teachers in Tuscon, Arizona, who are profiled in the film "Precious Knowledge" believe that there is no such thing as too much truth.

It is a struggle that has been beautifully captured in the powerful and evocative documentary "Precious Knowledge."?
