Monterrey-Herrera Productions Signs TV Film Deal With A&E Network.

Monterrey-Herrera Productions has signed a film production deal with the Arts & Entertainment (A&E) Network to produce “A Color Of Honor.” This historic, landmark film documentary, a tribute to Latinos in the military, will capture stories of courage, patriotism, and honor from Latino veterans and soldiers who have made significant impact on American history.

“A Color Of Honor will enable us to broaden America’s awareness of the major role Latinos have played in all branches of the U.S. military since the American Revolution,” stated Manny Monterrey, Co Executive Producer of the project. “As recipients of the highest number of Congressional Medals Of Honor, we hope to ensure our rightful place in American history.”

“A Color Of Honor” is a multi–media production which includes the A&E documentary film, a 200 page pictorial book, a multi-city traveling photo exhibit, a free public musical concert and CD, and a national student film documentary project.

Monterrey, the Creator, co-author and Executive Producer of the multi-media production “Americanos: Latino Life in The US,” has joined forces with George Herrera, President of Herrera-Cristina Group and Pie Face Productions, and creator of the nationally syndicated television show “Hispanics Today,” to form Monterrey–Herrera Productions.

“This project will not only allow us to accurately capture our community’s contribution to American History, but also provide corporate America an opportunity to partner with us in communicating our achievements to the American public,” stated George Herrera.

“A Color Of Honor” has drawn significant support from the public sector. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Congressman Silvestre Reyes (D-TX) serve as Co–Chairs of the project.

“A Color Of Honor,” the film documentary is slated to premiere on the History Channel and History Channel En Español during Hispanic Heritage month in 2006, kicking off a national celebration of this endeavor which will continue for several years thereafter via the other project components.
