Hollywood director uses film-making to highlight the Alabama immigration law debate
Under Alabama’s immigration law residents, who police suspect or being illegal, can be forced to produce legal documentation during routine traffic stops. Many critics believe that this can lead to racial profiling. An immigration attorney can obtain legal documents for hopeful immigrants.
Weitz who has directed notable films which include “The Golden Compass” and “New Moon” one installment of the “Twilight” series, teamed up with the Center for American Progress to make the series of short films. They range from a minute to a little over two minutes and focuses in the way Latinos are treated comparing their struggle to segregation issues, which plagued Alabama in the late 50s and early 60s. Weitz is currently working on a film called a “Better Life,” a portrayal of the life of a Latino immigrant working as a landscaper in California. His cast is predominately Latino.
A “Better Life” is an appropriate title since many people seek out immigration lawyers to help them become legally recognized U.S. residents so that they can pursue better income and a safer place to live.
Immigration attorneys can make it possible for a person to pursue the American Dream.
