Georgetown, Delaware is a small, traditionally white community evolving socially, politically, and economically in the midst of a large immigration wave. The struggles of two Guatemalan families in search of opportunity and employment shed light on the challenges facing millions of Latin Americans who have come to this country in search of the American Dream.

All films will be introduced by a guest speaker. For more information see the link below http://www.drclas.harvard.edu/mexico/at_harvard/coyotes_trail/2008
