JUNE 22, FARMINGVILLE ON PBS, NATIONWIDE


Award winning documentary film about the hate-based attempted murders of
two Mexican day laborers in a small Long Island town. "Farmingville"
meticulously reveals the underlying forces, and the human impact, of
what has become the largest influx of Mexican workers in U.S. history -
a migration that economic globalization is carrying beyond border areas
and major cities and into the small cities and towns of America. The
filmmakers spent nearly a year in Farmingville, talking to all sides and
filming the conflict as it unfolded in legal and political maneuverings,
community organizing, vigilante action and, most tragically, violence.
"Farmingville" achieves a remarkable intimacy with many of the principal
players in the town's drama, who share their personal hopes and fears,
revealing just how profoundly local all politics, even global politics,
are. Film will be shown on June 22 on PBS stations nationwide. Check
