Farmingville (DVD – 78 min.s) This DVD is part 20 years of independent
point-of-view (POV) documentary storytelling on PBS. The shocking, hate-based
attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers (winner – Sundance
Film Festival Special Jury Prize) catapult a small Long Island town into
national
headlines, unmasking a new front line in the border wars: suburbia.
For nearly a year, Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini lived and worked
in Farmingville,
New York so they could capture first-hand the stories of residents,
day laborers and activists on all sides of the debate.
