The Pragda film database is a comprehensive streaming platform specializing in Latin American, Spanish, and Latinx cinema. It offers a curated collection of over 700 films from more than 30 countries, all presented in their original languages with English subtitles or captions. The database is widely used by universities, libraries, and cultural institutions to provide access to award-winning documentaries, feature films, and series that cover a broad range of themes—including social issues, history, culture, feminism, immigration, and international politics.

Pragda provides educational resources such as discussion guides, filmmaker Q&As, and customizable streaming options, making it a valuable tool for academic and institutional markets. Films in the collection are available with Public Performance Rights (PPR) and Digital Site Licenses (DSL), allowing easy integration into curricula and public screenings. The platform is accessible via institutional subscriptions, and many films are also available for individual licensing.
