AbUSed: The Postville Raid (Guatemala) | (96 min; 2011; Spanish with English subtitles)
Director: Luis Argueta

The film is at once an epic story of survival, hope, and humble aspirations, of triumph, defeat, and rebirth. The face of immigration is revealed through the gripping personal stories of the individuals, the families, and the town that survived the most brutal, most expensive, and the largest immigration raid in the history of the United States.
