Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the influence and work of Hispanics in the U.S. There’s a lot of cool stuff going on this month highlighting influential Latinos across all industries and HOLA! will do its best to keep you updated.

While films and TV shows don’t have an expiration date, and streaming is always around to watch later (most of the time), Hispanic Heritage Month presents a great opportunity to discover new Hispanic talent, whether that’s in front or behind the screen.

Here are 10 movies and shows you can watch this month. If not, you can just save them for later:
