The Other Side of Immigration
Saturday, April 9, 2011, 7 PM

• The Other Side of Immigration examines the causes and effects of international migration from the perspective of rural Mexican communities where large numbers of people leave to work in the United States. The power of the film emerges from the seldom-heard and deeply resonant voices of Mexicans living with the effects of immigration policy, NAFTA, Mexican agricultural policies, and Mexican politics. The Other Side of Immigration provides audiences a fresh perspective on undocumented Mexican immigration and creative proposals for managing the phenomenon more effectively.
