abUSed: The Postville
Raid is a documentary
about the effects of U.S.
immigration
enforcement on
immigrant families and
the communities in
which they live.
Specifically, it looks at
the 2008 raid on the
Agriprocessors Inc. plant
in Postville, Iowa—the
largest, most expensive
in U.S. history. Following
the screening will be a
panel discussion with
filmmaker Luis Argueta
connecting the film to
similar immigration
enforcement actions in
Massachusetts.
