Immokalee U.S.A. Immokalee U.S.A., a feature length documentary chronicling the lives of migrant farmworkers in the United States, was recently awarded Best Documentary at the Charlotte Film Festival, Best Documentary at the Somewhat North of Boston Film Festival and Docufest Atlanta awarded Georg Koszulinski Best Director. A limited run of DVDs are available online here. "The immense power of this documentary comes from Koszulinski's ability to show rather than tell. This movie will haunt you for days." - Georgia Menides, Film Threat "Much more than just some kind of inside look at legalized slave labor... This truly is an outstanding piece of documentary filmmaking… Certainly one of the best independent films I have seen this year." - Josh Samford, Rogue Cinema “Koszulinski is a real artist. Immokalee, U.S.A., is one of the most beautiful docs I've ever seen." - Mike Everleth, Badlit.com "...An aesthetically pure documentary in the vérité tradition... [provides] an opening for self-reflection rather than didactic sermonizing." - Maine International Film Festival “A skillfully made documentary which highlights the plight of a group of largely ignored and forgotten people." - Simon Hill, Celluloid Dreams “…a work of immense humility and compassion. Indeed, there is a master's hand at play here, in what is the best documentary we've seen in a very, very, very long time.” - Cinemainacave.com "It's a study of the American Dream, and it's a much-needed splash of cold water in your face." - Drew Gemmer, The Portland Mercury "There's a cinematic effect here that will color your whole day, staying visible whatever you do... It’s what film-in-life is all about, a balance of discovery and social engagement. It’s intense.” - Ted Goranson, Filmsfolded.com |
