Watch the best independent documentaries before they come to television! Illinois Public Media (WILL radio.tv.online) and the Independent Television Series (ITVS) present Community Cinema, a monthly screening series of independent documentaries followed by a panel discussion. This series is presented the first Tuesday of every month in the Knight Auditorium. Guest scholars and members of the campus and local communities will interact with the audience in an hour-long discussion after the film. Then watch the film again later in the month on WILL-TV!
The State of Arizona
The divisive battle over illegal immigration in Arizona that came to a head with Senate Bill 1070 frames this tense documentary that tracks multiple perspectives - activists, politicians, Latino immigrants, controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio, ranchers, and others - as America eyes the results.
This event is supported by the Illinois Public Media/Spurlock Museum Community Cinema Partnership.
