This film is a personal historical documentary that examines what it means to be constantly looking for opportunity in America. Using family history of homelessness and displacement, Minda Martin examines the unfulfilled promise of "The Land of The Free" and reveals how the search for free land has geographically and psychically uprooted people created social inequalities and left legacies of emptiness. I felt this could also have been made into a Web site similar to those done my me and the students. Then we could look more carefully into the issue she's describing.
This came out on Monday, May 3rd at 7 PM in Arts 240.
