Based on over 700 interviews in Mexican towns where half the population has left to work in the United States, The Other Side of Immigration <http://www.theothersideofimmigration.com/HOME.html>  asks why so many Mexicans come to the U.S. illegally and what happens to the families and communities they leave behind. Through an approach that is both subtle and thought-provoking, director Roy Germano provides a perspective on undocumented immigration rarely witnessed by American eyes, challenging audiences to imagine more creative and effective solutions to our illegal immigration problem.
