Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
Many Latin Americans were brought, or forced to come to the U.S. by conditions our government had a role in creating. On this week’s edition of Making Contact, we hear excerpts of Harvest of Empire, a documentary film narrated by Democracy Now’s Juan Gonzalez. Part 1 traces the history of Guatemalan, Dominican, and Mexican migration to the U.S.

Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now! co-host and Harvest of Empire author; Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author, Robert White, Former US Ambassador to El Salvador; Rigoberta Menchu, Guatemalan Political Activist and 1992 Nobel Peace Prize winner; Melvin Goo.
