Immigration debate brings new life to film released in 2004
Tagged: activist, boycott, Film, protest, Theater“As activists urge work and school boycotts May 1 in what’s being called “A Day Without Immigrants,” a film with a similar title and the same message – America needs immigrants – is enjoying a revival.
The 2004 independent film A Day Without a Mexican made less than $5 million in theaters, but rentals are up and a new ad campaign is in the works. Some protesters are even sporting T-shirts with the film’s logo, a silhouette of a man in a sombrero carrying a duffel bag.
“There’s been a lot of talk about the film – it has served as an organizing tool, a kind of reference,” said Yareli Arizmendi, who co-wrote the script and whose husband, Sergio Arau, directed the film.”
