I received the following notification on a PBS special profiling a Dominican family. I wonder if they are going to deal honestly with the "race" issue.<\/p>\n

Don't miss the broadcast premiere of the P.O.V.\/Latino Public Broadcasting co-presentation of My American Girls: A Dominican Story this Tuesday, July 3 at 10:00pm (check local listings). <\/p>\n
In vivid verité detail, My American Girls: A Dominican Story captures the joys and struggles over a year in the lives of the Ortiz family, first generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Both funny and touching, Aaron Matthews' film captures the rewards – and costs – of pursuing the American dream. From hard-working parents who imagine retiring to their rural homeland to fast-tracking American-born daughters caught between their parents' values and their own, the film encompasses the contradictions of contemporary immigrant life.<\/p>\n

* Forward this alert to friends and colleagues THANK YOU!<\/p>\n More about the Television Race Initiative <\/p>\n The Television Race Initiative (TRI) is a multi-year effort in which diverse, high-profile television broadcasts create a framework for sustained community dialogue and problem solving around the issue of race relations. In partnership with national and community-based organizations and public television stations, TRI uses storytelling — initially in the form of several public television broadcasts — to 'break the ice' and encourage conversations that lead to constructive action. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received the following notification on a PBS special profiling a Dominican family.
