The shocking hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapult the Long Island town of Farmingville into national headlines, unmasking a new front line in the border wars: suburbia.
Brings to life the heroic struggle of Mexican Americans from Texas fighting to
dismantle the discrimination targeted against them. Built around the landmark
1954 legal case Hernandez v. Texas, the film interweaves the stories of its
central characters with a broader story of a civil rights movement that is still
very much alive today.
