I might have posted this on the message board already I'm not sure. This came on the Discovery Channel last week. It was good to see a documentary on the Latino immigrant experience beyond the usual stories one sees out there. This may be the only documentary on Dominican immigrants out there. Very enjoyable.
*************************************************************
In vivid verité detail, MY AMERICAN GIRLS: A DOMINICAN STORY captures the joys and struggles over a year in the lives of the Ortiz family, first generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Matthews' film captures the rewards and costs of pursuing the American dream. From hard-working parents, who imagine retiring to their rural homeland, to fast-tracking American-born daughters, caught between their parent's values and their own, the film encompasses the contradictions of contemporary immigrant life. A Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) Co-presentation.

I'll have to check for another showing of this, the Dominic experience in NY state has my interest. The Puerto Ricans here in my city have a strange reaction to the Dominican that have newly come here
