La Gaceta

Some call it a miracle. The survival of La Gaceta,   a weekly newspaper … when print journalism is an endangered species.

La Gaceta’s roots stem from political refugees,       a strong immigrant past… cigars… romance and rumors all creating an incredible perspective into   a century of hispanic history and culture in Tampa. 

This documentary goes behind-the-scenes to chronicle the stories and personalities of our nation’s only trilingual newspaper (Spanish, Italian and English).

It’s a love story following three generations of the Manteiga family business… Tampa’s immigrant community and the vibrant stories they’ve struggled to save over the past 100 years.
