The Denver Film Society Presents…

Hot Button Cinema: Swift Justice

A close look into the controversial immigration debate in the United States…

Thursday March 18, 2010

The Starz Film Center

900 Auraria Parkway Denver, Co. 80204

In partnership with The League of Women Voters of Denver

Directed by Mateos Alvarez and Julie Speer Hunniford, this documentary explores the context and ramifications of the raid on Swift meatpacking plants in Greeley and six other locations nationwide in 2006. The heated debate about the place of undocumented workers in the United States and their exploitation by employers is captured through interviews with people on both sides of the issue, from the impact on families coping with legal troubles and sudden loss of income to the arguable morality of current immigration statutes.

Includes conversation with Director Julie Speer Hunniford.

Preceded by a complimentary reception from 6pm - 7pm

Following the film, join in on the debate around immigration after a presentation from local attorneys Christine Fiflis and Ann Allott.
