Media/Arts Brief

Film screening, discussion at Multicultural Center

MADISON -- Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) and the Urban League of Greater Madison will host a film screening and discussion forum 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 10, at the Catholic Multicultural Center, 1862 Beld St.

Following the screening of P.O.V. "Farmingville," forum participants will have the opportunity to talk back and share their thoughts in a videotaped letter that will be sent to the film's producers.

Community members of color are encouraged to attend and share concerns on the topic. Bilingual interpreters will be available.

The film focuses on the struggles of a shocked middle-class community as it deals with the attempted murder of two Mexican day laborers.

It highlights the influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico to do work the locals won't, the low-wage labor market, and the rising tensions within the resident Anglo population.
