The U Turn
Ximena ChaperoThe U Turn is the third documentary film in Luis Argueta’s Immigration Trilogy. It narrates the transformational journey of the immigrant workers who broke the silence about the abuses they endured at the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in Postville Iowa and the community that would not abandon them. The film showcases the U-Visa, an immigration relief -part of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)- in much need of dissemination and understanding by immigrant workers, immigration rights-advocates and law enforcement.At the end of the documental, we'll have a conversation in english, with the filmaker Luis Argueta and the immigration experts Julia Preston & Muzaffar Chishti.
