DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents:\n\nHarvest of Empire – the film\nThe new 
 feature-length documentary made from the recent book by Juan 
 González.\nHosted by Wendy Thompson-Marquez, Miguel Gavilan Molina, Miguel 
 Rodriguez & Davey D\nMonday, November 12 2012 – 2 screenings: 7:00 pm and 
 9:30 pm\nBrava Theater\n2781 24th St, San Francisco\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 person: \nWendy Thompson-Marquez is 
 the President and CEO of the Onyx Media Group and EVS Communications, Inc. 
 In 2004 she was honored by the National Conference for Community and 
 Justice with the Media and Community Service Award. Currently she is a 
 board member of Latino Public Broadcasting, the Washington Performing Arts 
 Society, and the Community Foundation in D.C.\n\nMiguel Gavilan Molina, a
