Farmingville
Time Out says
A provocative, heartbreaking film, Farmingville examines the conflict
that engulfed a working-class Long Island town when the community became a haven
for 1,500 illegal Mexican immigrants. Things get progressively colder when one
of the Mexican men kills a local woman while driving drunk, and two laborers are
nearly murdered during a vicious hate crime. What makes Carlos Sandoval and
Catherine Tambini's documentary so effective is its sense of fairness to all
parties. The illegals are shown largely to be hard workers willing to sacrifice
for the American dream. And longtime locals are depicted not as a bunch of kooks
but concerned citizens worried about the security of the community they love.
