Good Afternoon, A faculty member has requested us to purchase a copy of the 2001 Independent Lens episode "Abandoned: The Betrayal of America's Immigrants." So far, I have not been able to find a copy available on dvd. There is one for sale in vhs format but we really don't want to purchase in this format if at all possible since support for playing them in classrooms is being "abandoned". I'd like to find a copy on dvd if it's available. If not, are there any other films that cover the topic of immigrants and deportation. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards, Jean Jean Reese Media Library Coordinator Middle Tennessee State University Box 33 / 1301 East Main Street Murfreesboro, TN 37132 PH: 615-898-2725 email: [email protected]
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
