This is America
I don't think this movie has yet had national release and distribution but it is making the college film circuit and you can order a copy to show to your class, community group, church, etc. As we head into May Day and march for the rights of all workers, with or without papers, as we affirm that no human being is illegal and there are no borders in the workers' struggle, director Jesse Salmeron's This Is America about how ICE raids are tearing families apart across this country could not be more timely.
