Barbara Martinez-Jitner,
Producer of Gregory Nava's documentary The American Tapestry,
lived in Tijuana in one of the shanty towns that have sprung up
around the Maquiladora factories sparked by NAFTA. She lived in
a makeshift shack with Eva Canseco, a Mixtec Indian factory worker
from Oaxaca and her family. She posed as a Maquiladora worker
and even documented Eva's preparation for her attempt at crossing
the border illegally to create a moving personal look at the crippling
poverty and gender discrimination that forces thousands of women
to enter the U.S. illegally.
This November, Showtime Networks will premiere the last documentary of In The 20th Century, a series films made by famous Hollywood directors like Norman Jewison, Barry Levinson, Robert Zemeckis and Garry Marshall. The last film is director Gregory Nava's The American Tapestry, a look at America's immigrant roots that covers the migrations of Europeans, Blacks, Asians and Latinos into the United States throughout this century. The documentary premieres in November and continues airing throughout December on Showtime.
