A powerful documentary that exposes the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today. From the territorial expansionist policies that decimated the young economies of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military regimes in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, Harvest of Empire provides an unflinching look at the origins of the growing Latino presence in the United States. Adapted from the landmark book written by journalist Juan Gonzalez, the film tells the story of an epic human saga that is largely unknown to the great majority of citizens in the U.S., but must become part of our national conversation about immigration.
Leave your thoughts about Harvest of Empire.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubAs entertainment, this approach might be questionable. As a service, it would be valuable. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryThe stories grow more eye-opening as filmmakers Peter Getzels and Eduardo Lopez paint a recurring picture. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIn an era of anti-immigrant fervor, this sobering and much-needed look at Latino migration is built on an undeniably optimistic premise: that once Americans have accurate facts, "they rarely allow injustices to stand." |
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelAs an analysis of the causes of migration, it is one-dimensional and unconvincing. But as a social history of Latinos in America, it is provocative and fascinating. And as an indictment of decades of economic injustice and covert military action committed in the name of freedom, it is devastating. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzThe filmmakers retain a touching faith that most Americans won't tolerate injustice when they know about it. This film is meant to teach them. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckCogent documentary makes the persuasive argument for the role that U.S. military and corporate interests have played in the influx of immigration from Latin American countries. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThough its snapshot approach is uneven, Harvest is itself a valuable resource: a good starting point for a fuller perspective on this nation of immigrants. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineHarvest of Empire is never quite wrong, but it's effectiveness is inversely proportional to how hard it's trying. |
| User ReviewElise MIt really makes you see how connected everything is and the cnsequences of the decisions of the past... |
| User ReviewDiego FThis is a great movie!! It not only shows where Latin Immigrants have come from, why they left their countries and their impact on this country. A must watch for anyone connected to Latinos. |
