DESCRIPTION:November 13, 2012: 4:15 pm, 7:00 pm, 9:30 pm\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 Gonzalez 
 of radio and television's Democracy Now!, the film by Wendy 
 Thompson-Marquez and Eduardo Lopez - 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 Menchu, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer 
 Junot Diaz, Mexican historian Lorenzo Meyer, ACLU Executive Director 
 Anthony Romero, poet Martin Espada, journalists Maria Hinojosa and Geraldo 
 Rivera, historian and broadcast journalist Juan Gonzalez, 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\n$10 advance tickets: 800-838-3006 \nor
