The shocking hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapult a small Long Island town into national headlines, unmasking a new front line in the border wars: suburbia. For nearly a year, filmmakers Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini lived and worked in Farmingville, New York, so they could capture first-hand the stories of residents, day laborers and activists on all sides of the debate. This timely and powerful film is more than a story about illegal immigration. Ultimately it challenges viewers to ask what the 'American dream' really means.

The Red Tail

Directed by: Dawn Mikkelson & Melissa Koch
Produced by: Dawn Mikkelson & Melissa Koch

In 2005 Roy Koch, along with 4,400 airline mechanics, custodians, and cleaners, went on strike against Northwest Airlines, the fourth largest airline in the world. Northwest ("The Red Tail"), wanted to lay off 53% of their union and outsource their jobs. After a 444-day strike, 4,000 union members were out of work, including Roy.

Refusing to be victims of our global economy, Roy and his daughter Melissa (co-director, The Red Tail) set on a journey to meet the worker to whom Roy's job was outsourced in China. The journey provides a renewed sense of purpose for Roy. The film interweaves Roy and Melissa's search for connection in China with the premeditated downfall of Northwest Airlines. This downfall serves as a vibrant example of the dangers of our current economic system, casting a spotlight on the future of the working class.
