![]() Farmingville Director: Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandoval USA, 2003, 79 min., Video English and Spanish with subtitles The chilling racially-motivated attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapults the Long Island town of Farmingville into national headlines, exposing a frontline of the new border wars: suburbia. Blending the stories of town residents and day laborers, this bilingual, cinema verité documentary reveals the human impact of national policies that can lead to fear, isolation, racism and violence. The filmmakers capture first hand the voices of people for whom immigration in the new global economy is not an abstract debate, but a reality of daily life. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and the Premio Mesquite Long Documentary Award from CineFestival in San Antonio. |
