“The Latino Underground” – Documentary of Latinos in the Shenandoah Valley
Tagged: border, documentary, Film, population, Shenandoah, VirginiaPosted on: November 5th, 2007
Immigration is one of the top issues in the country right now as hundreds of undocumented immigrants cross the border every day. But have you ever wondered why there is a large immigrant population in the Valley?
One local filmmaker tries to answer that question in a documentary he produced called “The Latino Underground.” Filmmaker Brent Finnegan wanted to address a topic he thought people don’t know much about: illegal immigration.
They’re in our community. We see them at the grocery store and at the mall. And Finnegan asked the question, are they really part of our community or are they a separate community, co-existing in the Valley, and living secret lives.”*
