- MCC PhD Candidate's Film to Screen at Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
-
A new film by NYU Media, Culture, and Communication doctoral candidate Jen Heuson to premiere at the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival in November.
"Immokalee, My Home" will premiere on Saturday, November 14th at 4:30pm. Visit the festival website for details and tickets.
"Immokalee, My Home" is a portrait of life in Immokalee, Florida, the heart of industrial agriculture in the United States and home to its largest population of migrant farm workers. Through visits to carnivals, churches, tomato fields, and workers' homes, a narrative emerges. The surface story is of one community's struggle for farm worker rights. Florida farm workers live in slave-like conditions. Some are beaten, not given food or water, or not paid. Yet, they continue to come. This is the deeper tale revealed. Ultimately, it is a tale of migration, of immigration, and of the persistent hope for a better life.
