Synopsis: A World of Difference
Episode I. Immigration // El Paso, TX
In the face of ongoing calls in the U.S. for construction of a 1,900-mile wall along the border, El Paso’s pragmatic and humane approach to immigration may serve as a model as the rest of the nation grapples with fears and tensions that separate us.
All across the country, people of color, women, immigrants, low income communities, and many others, say they feel less respected, more fearful, and in many places, under attack, because of their differences. MediaLab’s newest production, A World of Difference, investigates how communities experience diversity and ultimately asks the question: How do we value difference?
