Given false promises of work and housing, 48 Venezuelan migrants were flown from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s Vineyard last September. This film documents their three-day experience on the Island, before they were transported to Joint Base Cape Cod for further assistance by state and federal agencies. Featuring interviews with the Venezuelans, and with Vineyard residents who supported them, this is a captivating local retelling of the manufactured crisis.
