Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The filmmakers retain a touching faith that most Americans won't tolerate injustice when they know about it. This film is meant to teach them.
Fresh: Cogent doc makes the persuasive argument for the role that U.S. military and corporate interests have played in the influx of immigration from Latin American countries.
Fresh: Getzels and Lopez take a refreshing approach in this age of punditry and choir-preaching.
Fresh: This sobering and much-needed look at Latino migration is built on an undeniably optimistic premise: that once Americans have accurate facts, "they rarely allow injustices to stand."
