New DVD in the Library

Immokalee U.S.A., a documentary by Georg Koszulinski. “Being an account of migrant farmworkers in the U.S.A.” (On reserve in the library.  Call #:  HD 1527.F6K86 2008)

Immokalee U.S.A. chronicles the daily experiences of six individuals who live and work in the migrant farming community of Immokalee, Florida. We hear much about illegal immigration yet most do not fully understand that men who come here often lose their wives, their children, and their country because they do not earn enough money to send back to their families. In spite of the pain, however, there is a strong feeling of community in Immolakee and the Guadalupe Center, a charitable organization, feeds the hungry each day, providing special meals for holidays like Thanksgiving.
