New documentary film: FARMINGVILLE premiers on PBS

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; a flourishing low-wage labor market that depends on them; rising tensions with the resident Anglo population; charges and counter-charges of lawlessness and racism; organizing and counter-organizing then a violent hate crime that tears a community apart." But this isn't the story of a California, Texas or other Southwestern town." It's the story of Farmingville, New York, on Long Island."
Sandoval and Tambini's Farmingville, which won a Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, has its broadcast premiere on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 10 p.m., kicking off the 17th season of the P.O.V. series on PBS (check local listings).
