Ésta Es Mi Casa | Moving Lives Minnesota
Starting in the 1930's and continuing for decades, farmers in the Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota depended on Hispanic field workers from Texas and Mexico, who arrived to help with the beet fields. Now, one and two generations later, these migrant workers have assimilated and settled in the region. This documentary examines the journey of the Red River Valley's Hispanic community.
Moving Lives Minnesota: Stories of Origin & Immigration (MLMN) explores the histories of the many communities who have moved through and to Minnesota. MLMN brings Minnesotans together to recognize and honor our similar and different backgrounds and experiences. We hope through this statewide initiative by the PBS stations of Minnesota, story-sharing will build empathy and understanding across our communities.
