Assaulted Dream (Asalto al Sueño), documentary

Here is some information about the documentary Assaulted Dream (Asalto al Sueño) by German filmmaker Uli Stelzner. It is about the human rights crisis for migrants in southern Mexico as they travel to the United States. We have a showing scheduled at Middle Country Public Library for Friday, 7pm, July 16th. It is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. There will be a discussion following the film, led by a Human Rights activist. The film's intention is not to discuss the political sides of immigration, but to demonstrate the daily lives and sufferings of migrants.

Preview about the documentary is titled "Uli Stelzner in New York:"

Our Mission

"The purpose of the committee is to promote cultural awareness and develop strategies for effective outreach services." In adhering to this, the Committee meets four to seven times a year to discuss any and all issues that arise within the libraries that affect service to our diverse communities. These issues can range from collection development, to programming ideas, to creating documents in non-English fonts, to where to send a non-English speaking person for immigration information. The Committee would like to think of itself as a clearinghouse on best practices in serving diverse communities. One of our main goals is to disseminate and share information in a collegial fashion.
