Witness the efforts of villagers to confront anti-immigrant bias and repair the fabric of community life.

In Patchogue, New York, an ethnically diverse working-class village in Suffolk County, a series of attacks against Latino residents ended with the killing of an Ecuadoran immigrant who had lived in the village for 13 years. Seven local high school students arrested for the crime admitted they were “looking for a Mexican” to beat up. Over a two-year period, the film follows the Patchogue mayor as he leads a group of residents to confront the anti-immigrant bias in their town and repair the fabric of community life. Latino residents become leading voices for immigrants while working within the community to address local divisions; faith leaders mobilize their congregations; and educators and school administrators develop anti-bias programs. The film provides a message of hope, as civic leaders, students, grandmothers, librarians and store owners take action to repair a culture that has been torn apart by bigotry and fear.
