Harvest of Empire: The Untold Story of Latinos in America
Harvest of Empire: The Untold Story of Latinos in America, an award winning 2012 film, reveals the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today, with Central American children crossing the U.S. border to escape violence at home.
Speaker: Joan Conway, a retired USDA nutrition scientist, who has worked in direct service (food pantry) to the immigrant families of Silver Spring and Langley Park for 12 years, will lead the discussion.
Reel and Meal is produced by three local Greenbelt groups: Beaverdam Creek Watershed Watch Group, Green Vegan Networking and the Peace & Justice Coalition of Prince George’s County. Peace & Justice sponsors this month’s screening.
