      Thanks for the update Marco. I am sure you guys are working hard and not being accepted at some festivals doesn't mean anything. Unfinished films are sometimes hard to judge and I cannot wait to see the final cut! Meanwhile, keep having test screenings to fine tune the edit. Take care and all the best to you and Kris!

      Pamela,

      thank you for your support. I know that there are many documentaries exploring the myriad spectrum of immigration in our nation. It is important to our society that there are many perspectives being documented.

      The traditional news media should not be our only resource for information.

      Thanks again for your support.

      Marco - this film looks terrific, and very important. As the country's demographics change, there is this incredible new vibrancy brought by recent arrivals. Yet the resistance, the racism towards those who come remains, and particularly hard hit are Latin Americans. They make our lives so much richer. It breaks my heart. Thanks for making this. Adelante!
