- DirectorPeter GetzelsEduardo LopezStarsJunot DiazLuis EnriqueJuan GonzalezA powerful documentary that exposes the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today. From the territorial expansionist policies that decimated the young economies of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military regimes in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, Harvest of Empire provides an unflinching look at the origins of the growing Latino presence in the United States. Adapted from the landmark book written by journalist Juan Gonzalez, the film tells the story of an epic human saga that is largely unknown to the great majority of citizens in the U.S., but must become part of our national conversation about immigration.
- DirectorRicardo MartinezOne February day in 2007, a man from the Department of Homeland Security arrived at Gloria Garza's house in South Texas. He asked her to sign a letter granting permission to build a 25 foot Wall on her property. She thought it was joke. A small town, a border sheriff, and two illegal immigrants all become intertwined by one 25-foot Wall. Filmed over two years along the Southwest, The Wall is a documentary about the construction of a fence along the Mexican border. Congress had the blueprints but they never planned for human nature.
