Released in 2010, this powerful documentary tells the true story of the Bracero Program, revealing the untold personal experiences of the men who lived it. Learn about a generation—now in their 80s and 90s—who felt compelled to work in the U.S. as survival in Mexico during the World War II era became increasingly difficult.

Guest Speaker: Baldomero Capiz, Coordinator, Unión Binacional de Ex-Braceros 1942–1967
