Festival of Films.com's immigration categoryPRLog (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2011 – New York, NY--July 26, 2011: Festival-of-Films.com [http://www.festival-of-films.com], the innovative online portal featuring a wide range of intelligent and emotionally charged films for serious movie fans, has recently unveiled an exciting new series of films on immigration. This diverse assortment of documentary films provides viewers with the opportunity to engage not only in the immigration debate taking place in the U.S. today, but to also delve deeper into the complexities of immigrant struggles, and examine America’s own unique history and identity as a nation of immigrants. Each film in the immigration series, Immigration Dissension, offers a provocative storyline while also zeroing in on specific immigration issues. Here is a brief sampling: “Walking the Line” offers a harrowing view of the chaos along the U.S.-Mexican border where anti-immigrant vigilantes are taking the law into their own hands; “Desperately Seeking Southern Hospitality” looks at the cultural differences that make for insurmountable barriers for some Somali immigrants; “Alienated: Undocumented” tells the story of a young woman from the island of St. Vincent who commutes from Brooklyn to New Jersey to work as a Nanny for $4 a hour; “The Least of Those” explores one of the most controversial aspects of American immigration policy: family detention.
“In addition to providing entertainment, we are very focused on offering films with topical subject matter that allow our viewers to engage in some of the most important political and social conversations taking place today,” said Andy Schupak, co-founder of Festival -of-Films.com. “The idea for this category, Immigration Dissension, was prompted by the current climate where concerns surrounding America’s immigration policy are being more hotly debated than ever before.”
While most Americans would agree that the current path to citizenship is inadequate, there is continued debate on what steps are required to improve it. The hard-hitting documentaries on Festival-of-Films.com provide an excellent overview on what’s taking place on America’s soil. As with every film offering, viewers are highly encouraged to join in the discussions taking place Festival-of-Films.com’s online forums and to recommend films to others.
Festival-of-Films continues to build its reputation as the website to go to for provocative, independent films, all intelligently categorized by them and delivers seamlessly over the web.
