Sheriff Joe Arpaio and a Mexican-American child.
These are the main characters in Two Americans, a documentary that premieres on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Harkins Arizona Mills. This is an unforgettable film that chronicles the very different lives of two people battling the immigration wars.
I met one of the film’s producers, Valeria Fernandez, a former reporter for La Voz and a current reporter for CNN, as she was filming this remarkable documentary. Through the years, I’ve watched her record every major skirmish in the immigration battles in Phoenix. This documentary gives voice to those who have no voice, and gives The Toughest Sheriff in America lots of time to show who he really is. Here’s a clip.
