Kickoff

We're kicking off our drive with the screening of, "The Other Side of Immigration," which will be moderated by its director, Roy Germano.

From the site: "ABOUT THE FILM. Based on over 700 interviews in Mexican towns where half the population has left to work in the United States, The Other Side of Immigration asks why so many Mexicans come to the U.S. illegally and what happens to the families and communities they leave behind. Through an approach that is both subtle and thought-provoking, director Roy Germano provides a perspective on undocumented immigration rarely witnessed by American eyes, challenging audiences to imagine more creative and effective solutions to our illegal immigration problem."

We think this film is fitting because so many of the Manchester people in need are immigrants trying to get back on their feet. It's important to educate the public on this issue whenever possible.

People from the organizations we are working with have all been invited and you are welcome too! The film is screening on Thursday, October 29th at 5:00 p.m. in the third floor auditorium at UNH Manchester.
