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.
