Farmingville

The shocking hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapult a small Long Island town into national headlines, unmasking a new front line in the border wars: suburbia. For nearly a year, Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini lived and worked in Farmingville, New York so they could capture first-hand the stories of residents, day laborers and activists on all sides of the debate. Farmingville is more than a story about illegal immigration; ultimately it challenges us to ask what the “American dream” really means.

Farmingville is being presented as part of the Impact Festival.
