1. First choice for an immigrants-and-legal-system film is called ABANDONED about the impact of the 1996(iraira) law as it went into effect....Deporting thousands of people (many green card holders) defining decades old convictions as deportable retroactively. Produced in 2000, it would be a good baseline for evaluating what has/has not changed with subsequent court rulings. http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/aban.html
Second, still aptly describing the situation today, is WHICH WAY HOME, academy award nominated film about Central American children riding the tops of trains through Mexico, trying to find family or futures in U.S....and what happens to them. http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/wwh.html Incidentally, if they make it, life may not be rosy. Last year the US deported over 5,000 parents of dependent children (some US citizens) leaving children without their loving parents, placed in the foster care system and parents unable to provide for them, or to appear to assert their parental rights while in US detention, or from abroad, having been deported. Finally, BROTHER TOWNS looks at Jupiter, Florida, to which one town in Guatemala has contributed many low paid workers. The tension is between people trying to do the right thing, a community trying to be human, and US national immigration law. http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/brt.html Best, Winnie Winifred Scherrer Bullfrog Films PO Box 149, Oley PA 19547 610-779-8226 800-543-3764 FAX 610-370-1978 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 12:51:05 -0400 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: videolib Digest, Vol 54, Issue 1 >Send videolib mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > >To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > >https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/[email protected]. >edu > >or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > >You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > >When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >than "Re: Contents of videolib digest..." > > >Today's Topics: > > 1.
