From the makers of Down But Not Out…

Join us for the screening of Upheaval Productions

newest documentary "Dos Americas: The Reconstruction

of New Orleans." Dos Americas focuses on the growing

Latino population in post-Katrina New Orleans and

their difficulties with wage theft, racism, police

brutality, worker on-site injuries and black/brown

tensions.

Film Synopsis:

Post-Katrina reconstruction is still in progress

throughout the Gulf Coast, with much of the City of

New Orleans still in ruins.

This documentary focuses on those rebuilding this

city through interviews with some of the estimated

100,000 Latino migrant laborers who have converged in

this area over the past two and a half years. Despite

terrible working conditions, massive fraud, a housing

crisis, severe harassment by law enforcement, and very

limited resources, New Orleans' Latino community has

mushroomed since the storm and is establishing an

infrastructure proportional to its size.

Take a look at how this community is organizing to

defend itself against numerous injustices and the

attempts to bridge the gap between themselves as new

residents and the pre-Katrina population, all within

extremely unique and tragic context of post-Katrina

New Orleans.

Screening of the documentary will be followed by a Q&A

with one of the filmmakers.
