TOMORROW’S AMERICA
is
the working title of an important television examination of U.S. immigration
policy - - past and present - - and its likely demographic, economic, environmental,
cultural and social impacts on the nation in the next few decades. The program
is currently in production at locations across the country.
This
Special is designed to assist citizens in understanding the history of immigration
in the U.S., the mythology surrounding that history, the roots of current
immigration policy in the new immigration law of 1965, leading to the "great
wave" of new immigrants in the 1990s.
Overall
development of Tomorrow’s America
is under the direction of George
A. Colburn, Ph.D., who was the writer and producer of of “The Eisenhower
Legacy,” a 5-hour series on Ike’s military and political careers for The Disney
Channel. Gen. Colin Powell (US Army, retired) hosted the series. A 20-part,
multimedia educational series was also produced by Starbright Media, funded
by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Dr. Colburn's intent
is to create a 6-part educational series based on the television version.
Colburn recently completed production on a one-hour documentary special entitled
"Navajo Code Talkers: In Their Own Words."
To
illustrate current conditions, Tomorrow’s
America staff and crew have traveled to communities around the country,
most far from our borders, to examine immigration’s impacts on the essential
aspects of our lives - - - education, medical care, employment, crime and
recreation. The environmental impact of continuing high levels of immigration
will be especially noted as well, in urban areas and wilderness areas alike.
Interviews
about the impact of population growth and international migration trends have
been conducted with outstanding scholars, policy-makers in Washington, D.C.
deeply involved in the U.S. immigration debate today, and with citizens affected
in their local communities by policies established in the nation’s capital.
A
series of unabridged interviews from the series are available on DVD. Visit
