The Invisible Crisis: The Female Face Of Forced Migration
The Invisible Crisis: The Female Face Of Forced Migration is a short documentary produced by Centro Presente with Intercultural Productions that explores the causes of the migration of millions of women and their children from the nations of the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, El Salvador and Hoduras) to the United States. Through the first-hand testimonies of Centro Presente members, and women & immigrant rights advocates, we hear about the tremendous levels of lethal violence confronted by women in Central Ameerica and how flight to the United States remains their only option, not for a better life, but for any life at all. However upon crossing the border after a perilous journey through Mexico into the U.S. these women find themselves once again the victims of a state-sponsored violence which continues their trauma.

Trailer: "Just Communities" An Immigrants Rights Documentary
A trailer for “Just Communities/Comuidades Justas”, a mini-documentary about the impact of the S-Comm program on immigrant communities. More than 1,600,000 people have been deported under the Obama administration and S-Comm has been the legal tool that the US government is using to deport undocumented immigrants.
JUST COMMUNITIES features testimonies of affected immigrant families, activists and elected officials that are working for better public policies around immigration. This mini-documentary examines the direct connection between unfair policies and programs like S-Comm with the suffering and separation of immigrant families and the current U.S. immigration system.
