Directors Statement:
To tell this story, the filmmakers lived and worked in Farmingville
for nearly a year where they experienced firsthand the tensions
in this conflicted community. Farmingville’s story reflects
the challenge facing many communities as the Latino population not
only spreads across the nation farther than any previous wave of
immigrants, but also bypasses traditional immigrant gateways and
heads directly to suburbs and the American heartland.
