A small community in Long Island is torn apart by the sudden arrival of thousands of undocumented migrant workers on their idyllic suburban shores. Some residents watch in horror, as their cozy, frozen dreams of property values and standards of living appear to melt before their eyes. Others try to embrace these historical changes in a way that allows for the kind of justice that benefits all. Directors Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini walk right into this explosive moral situation where the fears of Middle America turn into the reality of racial violence. Presenting all sides of the issue while retaining a measured sense of indignation, this documentary goes straight at the heart of what’s wrong with America’s failed immigration policies. Given the number of undocumented workers in this country, Farmingville is a powerful and relevant reminder of the many battles that lie ahead.  RD
