"Fuerza" Showing

A political issue of huge proportions this year is immigration- one that is being dealt with in many classes, PAX, and in the personal lives of many students. Fuerza is a documentary that examines the realities of the effect of immigration on two small cities: Goshen, Ind., and Apan, Hidalgo, Mexico. Apan is a feeder city for Goshen, meaning that many people emigrating from Apan come to Goshen, because of other family and friends already established in the area. Fuerza explores this connection, and shows how each city relies on the other in some way. Filming for the documentary took place in Elkhart County, Apan and along the U.S.-Mexico border.
