HR4437HR4437, the latest attack on immigration, has not yet become law. However, with Democrats and Republicans agreeing that immigration reform is necessary, and an eager new Congress determined to accomplish something in the next two years, HR4437 is bound to re-emerge. The documentary students who produced this video podcast believe the public should be reminded of this proposed bill's xenophobic provisions. Produced at the LAYC's Art & Media House documentary production class during the 2006-2007 school year, producers Erzhan Maldybayev and Sandra Quel are currently seeking funding to extend this project into a feature-length documentary. |
