Film on Anti-Immigrant Violence and Racism

FarmvilleIn the late 1990s, the hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican workers catapulted a Long Island town into national headlines, unmasking a new front line in the border wars: suburbia. For nearly a year, filmmakers Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini lived and worked in Farmingville, N.Y., documenting the stories of residents, day laborers and activists battling one another.  From this, the critically acclaimed film "Farmingville" was born.  The film won a Sundance Special Jury Prize in 2004.  First Congregational UCC will be showing the film following our church service on June 22nd.  Lunch and popcorn will be provided.  We expect to begin around 11:15 am.
