1. Think about a modern day crisis such as the separation of infants and children from their parents and guardians at the Mexican-US border. How might media/film representations and stereotyping have contributed to the acceptability of this practice?
2. Stories about immigration are popular throughout American film history. What types of issues do these stories explore?
3. Lime Kiln Field Day refers to a surviving fragment of an early film. Why is this film relic so important?
