“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.
