THE SILENT CROSS: Joaquin Alvarado, 2004, 87min. Spanish/English.
A Chicano filmmaker learns first hand the perils migrants face crossing the
US/Mexico border in search of work and opportunity.
THE NATIVES: Jesse Lerner/Scott Sterling, 1991, 24min. Natives follows the
individuals involved in San Diego's anti-immigration movement. Relying
principally on a direct cinema style and eye for the absurd, the film critiques
the nativist position by contrasting their professed love of country
with their racist and
anti-democratic attitudes.
ANIMAQUILADORA: Alex Rivera and Lalo Lopez, 1997, 4min. includes L.A.
Cucaracha, a series of three animated shorts based on the political
cartoon strip by Lalo Lopez.
