Bracero Stories" is a historical documentary film detailing the personal experiences of five former guest workers, who came to the United States to work under the Bracero Program, formally known as the Mexican Farm Labor Program, between 1942 and 1964. After the United States joined the Allied Powers in World War II, laborers for the agriculture and the railroad industry were heavily needed. Once their contract of service expired, some Braceros became repatriated and returned to Mexico, while others continued to live in the United States as citizens.
|
|
|
"Bracero Stories," was directed, produced and edited by UTEP communication lecturer Patrick Mullins.
