Producer JT Tagaki in person
 For
over 35 years, Third World Newsreel has worked with socially
conscious media makers and communities of color to bring a range
of voices into the national discussion of American priorities.
Their latest project, Call for Change, captures the
fight for families facing deportation, activists working to
pass a bill requiring companies doing business in New York to
reveal a past relationship with the slave trade, spoken word
from women rappers and intimate portraits of immigrants post
9/11.

This
experimental short takes the images and emotions evoked by the
colors of the Jamaican and American flags to question dual identities,
stereotypes and civil liberty abuses faced by immigrants in
the US.
