Arizona : Resisting SB 1070 Immigration Law (NDLON, NDWA & Puente Movement, United States, 2011; 60 min.) These four videos document the impact of SB 1070 and other immigration policies on the lives of immigrant families in Arizona, and the growing national efforts to end these violations of human and civil rights. SB 1070, signed into law by Arizona Governor Brewer in April 2010, made it a crime not to carry documentation at all times – and gave local police broad powers to detain anyone they suspected of possibly being undocumented. The videos show the chilling terror that has kept families prisoners in their own homes, and children in fear of losing their parents to surprise detainment and deportations.  These videos were projects of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and the National Domestic Workers Alliance in partnership with the Puente Movement.
