New documentary on the roots of Mexican migration to the U.S. released by Food First

Caminos: The Immigrants Trail traces a group of U.S. and Canadian citizens retracing the immigrant trail from El Paso, Texas to Oaxaca, Mexico. This documentary, based on our summer 2007 trip led by Food First executive director, Eric Holt-Giménez, reveals some of the factors that drive these migrants to leave their families and risk their lives to seek work in the U.S. The entire funding for this documentary was provided by individual donors who responded enthusiastically to our telephone appeal last spring.
