"Harvest of Empire" & "Dirty Wars" Among Films Honored by American Library Association 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The American Library Association has released its list of Notable Videos
for Adults — 15 "outstanding" films from the past two years.
Included in the list is "Harvest of Empire," based on the groundbreaking
book of the same name by Democracy Now! co-host Juan González. In its
announcement, the ALA described "Harvest of Empire" as "a comprehensive
geopolitical picture of the economic and historical realities that have
guided waves of Latin American migration to the U.S." Other films
recognized include "Dirty Wars," "The Act of Killing," "The Internet's
Own Boy," "After Tiller," "Five Broken Cameras," "Who is Dayani
Cristal?" and other groundbreaking documentaries we have featured on
Democracy Now! programs. To see those interviews, search our online
