　　A powerful documentary that exposes the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today. From the territorial expansionist policies that decimated the young economies of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military regimes in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, Harvest of Empire provides an unflinching look at the origins of the growing Latino presence in the United States. Adapted from the landmark book written by journalist Juan Gonzalez, the film tells the story of an epic human saga that is largely unknown to the great majority of citizens in the U.S., but must become part of our national conversation about immigration.

很多说无聊的评论，可能是因为没有面对面地见过那些人。这个纪录片主要是想说：我们对移民的刻板印象是，他们想去美国占便宜，不是好东西。但实际上，是因为他们自己国家的饥荒、贫困、战争、暴力（例如帮派或政府各种收钱或者强奸人）太严重，所以他们不得不逃到一个可以活命的地方。而且他们中的绝大多数都是努力工作老实养家的人。简而言之，这些美（中）国主流认为是低端人口死了活该的麻烦精，是活生生的有思想有感情的好人。
