SUMMARY:Brandywine Peace Community Monthly Potluck Supper & Program: Free showing of the acclaimed film\, Harvest of Empire: The Untold Story of Latinos in America
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, April 10  — Brandywine Peace Community Monthly Potluck Supper & Program\, 2nd Sunday of the month\,  at University Lutheran Church\, 3637 Chestnut Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19104 (corner of 37th & Chestnut St\, in the University City section of the city\, limited parking in lot at the rear of the church) \n4:30p.m. Potluck Supper (bring main dish\, salad\, or dessert).  Program begins at 5:30p.m. \nSpecial Free showing of the acclaimed film – HARVEST OF EMPIRE\, The Untold Story of Latinos in America\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n “We are all Americans of the New World\, and our most dangerous enemies ?are not each other\, but the great wall of ignorance between us.” – Juan González\, Harvest of Empire\nAt a time of heated and divisive debate over immigration\,  comes Harvest of Empire\, the feature-length documentary that reveals the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today. \nBased on the groundbreaking book by award-winning journalist and Democracy Now! Co-host Juan González\, Harvest of Empire takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S. economic and military interests played in triggering an unprecedented wave of migration that is transforming our nation’s cultural and economic landscape. \nFrom the wars for territorial expansion that gave the U.S. control of Puerto Rico\, Cuba and more than half of Mexico\, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military regimes in the Dominican Republic\, Guatemala\, Nicaragua and El Salvador\, Harvest of Empire unveils a moving human story that is largely unknown to the great majority of citizens in the U.S. \nAs Juan González says at the beginning of the film “They never teach us in school that the huge Latino presence here is a direct result of our own government’s actions in Mexico\, the Caribbean and Central America over many decades — actions that forced millions from that region to leave their homeland and journey north.” \nHarvest of Empire provides a rare and powerful glimpse into the enormous sacrifices and rarely-noted triumphs of our nation’s growing Latino community.  The film features present day immigrant stories\, rarely seen archival material\, as well as interviews with such respected figures as Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Rigoberta Menchú\, the Reverend Jesse Jackson\, ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero\, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Junot Díaz\, Mexican historian Dr. Lorenzo Meyer\, journalists María Hinojosa and Geraldo Rivera\, Grammy award-winning singer Luis Enrique\, and poet Martín Espada. \n2013\, 90 mins. English and Spanish with English subtitles. Written by Juan Gonzalez and  based on his book of the same name Directed by Peter Getzels and Eduardo Lozez.  Harvest of Empire film trailer\, https://vimeo.com/48145023 \n\n\n
