New Faces on Main Street
An examination of the origins and consequences of immigration patterns in Wisconsin established for Southeast Asian and Latino immigrants.
Recent waves of Southeast Asian and Latino immigrants are changing the complexion of many small towns in the Midwest. New Faces on Main Street investigates the status of these newcomers — their struggle to hold onto their traditions while contributing to their adopted communities. Using Northeastern Wisconsin as a microcosm for middle America, this documentary also addresses the negative perceptions of established residents who may not be entirely comfortable with a heterogeneous American heartland.
