When the US government stormed a Kosher meat packing plant in the American heartland,
arresting nearly 400 undocumented workers, a Guatemalan village wept. The biggest
immigration raid in US history severed an economic lifeline to one of the poorest
corners of the Western Hemisphere while pushing an Iowa farm town to the brink of

the Americas brought directors Greg Brosnan and Jennifer Szymaszek to speak about
their film, and about the situation as they have continued to follow it, both in Postville,
Iowa, and in Guatemala.
