Tuesday, June 22, 10 p.m., WHA (PBS) -- P.O.V.: "Farmingville." The shocking hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapulted a small Long Island town into national headlines, unmasking a new frontline in the border wars: suburbia. For nearly a year, Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini lived and worked in Farmingville, N.Y., to capture firsthand the stories of residents, day laborers, and activists on all sides of the debate. This timely and powerful film is more than a story about illegal immigration. Ultimately, it challenges viewers to ask what the "American dream" really means.

The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification of the theatrical version was A-II - adults and adolescents.
