Some hard questions we hope to address: Why are they here? Are they depressing
wages? Are they taking jobs from non-immigrant North Carolinians?
4:00-5:00 pm Film: Morristown:
in the Air and Sun
 Filmed over an 8-year period in the mountains of east Tennessee, interior Mexico,
and Ciudad Juarez, Morristown:
in the Air and Sun is rooted in the authentic expression of workers who speak
about their lives, work, disappointments, and hope. These conversations are combined
with scenes in factories, fields, union halls, Mexican stores, city parks, and employment
agencies. Run time: 60minutes
5:00-6:00 pm Discussion facilitated by Dani Martínez-Moore, NC Justice
Center
