Immigrants in America: A Hollywood Perspective

Series including Ugly Betty and Modern Family and films such as Gran Torino featuring immigrant-related stories have moved our hearts and minds and are informing opinions on immigration in America today. The Paley Center for Media, The Opportunity Agenda, and Unbound Philanthropy gather a panel of actors, producers, writers, and industry leaders for a thought-provoking dialogue regarding media's impact on the issue of immigration. Panelists will discuss the myriad ways in which the creative and business communities can engage audiences in this topic as it becomes increasingly significant both politically and socially.
