This month includes important dates for many Hispanic countries, including celebrations of independence for Costa Rica (9\/15), El Salvador (9\/15), Guatemala (9\/15), Honduras (9\/15), Nicaragua (9\/15), Mexico (9\/16), and Chile (9\/18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AU Media Services invites you to celebrate Hispanic Heritage this month and beyond with our wide collection of Hispanic films available for members of the AU community.
