National Town Hall on Immigration with the Directors of 9500 Liberty
On July 10, 2012, filmmakers Annabel Park and Eric Byler joined Link TV's Laila Brenner via Google+ Hangouts for a live Ustream discussion on immigration.
Their film, 9500 Liberty, documented the political, economic, social struggle that occurred when Virginia's Prince William County instituted a harsh anti-immigrant resolution. This discussion on the state of immigration reform in the US focuses on the need to change the rhetoric surrounding the national conversation, and on the economic implications of SB1070-style immigration crackdowns.

9500 Liberty documents the first time in US history that an Arizona-style immigration law was actually implemented -- and the surprising grassroots opposition that led to its repeal.
