From the Peabody Awards collection, this made-for-TV movie sheds light on the experiences of the thousands of illegal immigrants living in this country, who struggle every day to eke out a living. In the farms and fields of America, and on the street corners of its towns and cities, their desperate attempts at a better life are relegated to the shadows of the wealthiest country in the world. In “The Maldonado Miracle,” their experience is illuminated in all its danger, squalor and relentless idealism.
Discussion leader: Ken Martin, Romance Languages Dept.
Directed by Salma Hayek and starring Peter Fonda, Mare Winningham, and Rubén Blades (imdb entry for film)
