Movie Reviews of POV: Farmingville
Movie Review: Unique Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is an incredible peace of work that gives a perspective little seen in the media and society at large. Modern immigration is a very complicated and heated debate that usually focuses on how immigrants are "stealing jobs" and a threat to the status quo. This film gives a very much needed humane perspective of these immigrants and brings up issues such as worker exploitation and the most effective means to solve problems associated with immigration. Anybody who has any interest in modern immigration and wants a fresh, detailed perspective (as opposed to the rhetoric pushed by the media) should watch this film. Incredibly interesting.
Summary of POV: Farmingville
Winner of the Special Jury Proze at the Sundance Film Festival, P.O.V. presents FARMINGVILLE, a provocative, complex, and emotionally charged look into the ongoing nationwide controversy surrounding a suburban community, its ever-expanding population of illegal immigrants, and the shockingly hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers. In the late 1990s, some 1,500 Mexican workers moved to the leafy, middle-class town of Farmingville, population 15,000. In some ways, it's a familiar American story: an influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico to do work the locals won't; rising tensions with the Anglo population; charges and counter-charges of lawlessness and racism; protest marches, unity rallies and internet campaigns--then vicious hate crimes that tear the community apart. But this isn't the story of a California, Texas or other Southwestern city. It's the endlessly entralling tale of Farmingville, New York, on Long Island. Sharply and intimately directed by Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandoval, who moved to Farmingville after the tumultuous clash catapulted the town into national headlines, FARMINGVILLE is an astounding glimpse into an issue that continues to anger, frighten and confuse us.
