Story Screen Presents 'The Sixth Section'

Alex Rivera's The Sixth Section  (2003) tells a contemporary story thatreveals a new perspective on Mexican migrant labor life. Rivera and co-producerBernardo Ruiz followed José Garcia, a young man from the small Mexican town ofBoqueron. Garcia decided to leave to support his wife and family, coming to theU.S. hidden in the trunk of a car. Once here, he moved to Newburgh, New York,and found much more than a job -- he saw that he could use his own labor inAmerica to relieve the stark poverty of his hometown.

Join Awesome Newburgh’sTrustee Laura Garcia and For the Many’s Rene Mejia as they welcome featuredcharacters to reflect on the movie and their lived experience in Newburgh NY.
