 KPFA and BuildOn benefit\n\nWhile immigration is one of America’s most 
 fiercely controversial issues, little is understood about the growing 
 Latino presence in the U.S. This excellent new documentary reveals the 
 direct correlation between centuries of U.S. armed intervention in Latin 
 America and the Caribbean and today’s immigration crisis. Adapted from 
 the popular new book written by award-winning journalist Juan González of 
 radio and television’s Democracy Now!, the film by Wendy Thompson-Marquez 
 and Eduardo López – in conjunction with director Peter Getzels and 
 editor Catherine Shields – vigorously details the social conditions and 
 U.S. government actions (overt and covert) that led inexorably to millions 
 of Latino families to flee their homelands, triggering an unprecedented 
 migration that is transforming America’s cultural and economic landscape. 
    \n\nIn addition to rare archival material, this film features interviews 
 with Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú, the Reverend Jesse 
 Jackson, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Junot Diaz, Mexican historian 
 Lorenzo Meyer, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero, poet Martín Espada, 
 journalists Maria Hinojosa and Geraldo Rivera, historian and broadcast 
 journalist Juan González, and film producer Wendy Thompson-Marquez. \n\nIn

 Group and EVS Communications, Inc. In 2004 she was honored by the National 
 Conference for Community and Justice with the Media and Community Service

 Washington Performing Arts Society, and the Community Foundation in
