www.harvestofempiremovie.com The Congressional Progressive Caucus and Arizona Congress- man Raúl Grijalva invite you to a special screening of the award-winning immigration documentary, Harvest of Empire. Based on the landmark book by journalist and Democracy Now co-host Juan González, the film takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S. military actions and economic interests played in triggering unprecedented waves of migration from Latin America. “Pick of the Week! Raises a very important moral question, and one that rarely enters the immigration debate: If America is responsible for destabilizing a country, what is our role when the country’s citizens suffer as a result?” -- Stephanie Merry, Washington Post “Four Stars! In an era of anti-immigrant fervor, this sobering and much-needed look at Latino migration is built on an unde- niably optimistic premise: that once Americans have accurate facts, ‘they rarely allow injustices to stand.’” -- Elizabeth Weitzman, N.Y. Daily News Writer Juan González, co-director Eduardo López and La Opinión Washington correspondent María Peña will appear in person for a Q&A after the screening!
