Sweeping Dreams and Rights on the Line SWEEPING DREAMS Milca, Mered and "Rosa" work as housekeepers in Los Angeles. In the short film, "Sweeping Dreams," they share their perspectives and experiences regarding life, work, and immigration. RIGHTS ON THE LINE offers a provocative look at the growing role of armed vigilante groups and their attempts to play on anti-immigration scapegoating. Filmed by legal observers and human rights activists at the US-Mexico border, this new video has just been produced by AFSC, in partnership with the American Civil Liberties Union and WITNESS, a group using video activism to defend human rights. Panelists: Sweeping Dreams filmmakers Amy Lappen and Amber Denblyker, plus Immigration Rights Advocate Jose Vega, and student activist Vincent Fresse Sunday, August 20th, at 4 PM Echo Park Film Center 1200 N.
