Now showing online: Our film on rising immigration tensions in America’s Dairyland

“Los Lecheros” (Dairy Farmers) was co-produced with Jim Cricchi and Susan Peters of Twelve Letter Films in 2017 in partnership with Wisconsin Watch. The Center’s reporting on the issue started in 2009 with a series of stories called Dairyland Diversity about the growing reliance of Wisconsin’s signature industry on undocumented workers.

I worked as an producer for the film, and shot the photographs for the accompanying print story: America’s Dairyland and Trump in the rearview mirror as workers return to Mexico
