“A Forgotten Injustice” is Vicente Serrano’s opera prima, and the first documentary that tells the story of almost two million Mexican Americans and U.S. citizens, who were forced out of the Unites States during the Great Depression in the 1930s. These people were forced to leave because of one reason, they just happened to be of Mexican descent. In order to avoid making the same mistakes in our efforts to find a solution to today’s immigration problem, we have to look back and learn from “A Forgotten Injustice.”
“A Forgotten Injustice” is the result of an extensive investigation headed by journalist Vicente Serrano. Serrano traveled across the country and Mexico to capture the experiences of these men and women, many still living in extreme poverty in rural areas in Mexico. Some of the survivors are coming back to the U.S almost 80 years later. “They should apologize for what they have done to us before we die and before the government commits the same mistakes,” exclaimed Emilia Castañeda who was born in Los Angeles and forced to leave the U.S with her family in the 30s.
“A forgotten Injustice” includes interviews with historians, politicians and survivors. Among them, Former California State Senator Joseph Dunn, John Coatsworth, Dean, School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, Hilda Solis, US Representative, Raymond Rodriguez, Professor of History, emeritus, Long Beach City College, Francisco Balderrama, co-author of “Decade of Betrayal”, Ernesto Nava Villa, Son of Pancho Villa, and John Eastman, Dean, Kennedy Law School at Chapman University.
Vicente Serrano is an Emmy-award winning and respected broadcast journalist and host. Currently Radio host of “De10A12 Con Vicente Serrano” on 750AM from 10AM-12PM Monday to Friday.
