A new wave of immigration

Like it or not - Tennessee is experiencing a new wave of immigration. Via A Cup of Joe Powell, here's a film which captures the stories of the Mexican immigrants who are coming to America's heartland.

"Working-class people in Mexico and eastern Tenessee are caught in the throes of massive economic change, which challenges their assumptions about work, family, nation and community. This film chronicles nearly a decade of change in Morristown, Tennessee through interviews with displaced or low-wage Southern workers, Mexican immigrants, and workers and families impacted by globalization."
