The Audiovisual series includes a motion picture, as well as several digital recordings, U-matics, and VHS tapes. The motion picture was created by Latino students at the University of Michigan in the early 1970s intended as a recruiting tool to encourage individuals to apply for admission. The digital recordings feature interviews, some in Spanish, with Perazza and other members of the Latino community in Detroit, a concert, and drives and walks around the city of Detroit. The U-matics and VHS tapes also feature interviews with members of the Latino community, as well as Perazza's work with social service organizations and a presentation on Rincón, Puerto Rico.
