Join grantmaker colleagues for a special dinner, screening and discussion of "Farmingville", a compelling documentary film by Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini, which explores the complex issues of immigrant day laborers in a suburban New York town. Residents become angry about the rapidly growing numbers of men seeking work on street corners, while day laborer immigrants are targeted and fear for their safety as they try to earn a living.

After the screening, meet Carlos Sandoval, Catherine Tambini and other special guests to discuss the film and how it has been used to stimulate community dialog elsewhere around the country.
