April 7 Westminster Presbyterian Church, located at 151 State Hwy 564 (Boardman Drive), will be showing the 90 minute film “Harvest of Empire.” Doors open at 1:45pm, the film will begin at 2:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided. “Harvest of Empire,” a film based on the book by award winning journalist Juan Gonzalez, chronicles the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the decision for millions of Latin Americans to migrate to the United States. At a time of divisive debate over immigration, the film takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S. economic and military interests played in triggering an unprecedented wave of migration that is transforming our nation’s cultural and economic landscape. The film will be followed by a viewer discussion. Donations will be accepted. All proceeds will benefit churches and other organizations in Albuquerque who are coordinating accommodations, meals, supplies, and transportation for migrant families en route from ICE detention facilities to their sponsoring families in the U.S. “We are all Americans of the New World, and our most dangerous enemies are not each other, but the great wall of ignorance between us.” - Juan Gonzalez
