9500 Liberty
IFC Center-New York, NY
11/18/09

NY premiere of 9500 LIBERTY – an award-winning documentary about the politicization of the immigration issue, and the ensuing climate of fear and racial tension that plagues a Virginia county struggling to cope with a growing Latino population. Prince William County, Virginia is embroiled in an explosive battle over immigration policy when local officials adopt a law requiring police officers to question anyone they have “probable cause” to suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 LIBERTY provides an intimate portrait of the bitter culture war that ensues, one that will likely spread throughout the nation as the debate over immigration reform returns to the forefront of national politics. The devastating social and economic consequences of Prince William County’s “Immigration Resolution” is felt in the lives of real people in homes and in local businesses. But the ferocious fight to adoptand then reverse this policy unfolds inside government chambers, on the streets, and on the Internet.
