[Maria Grabowska]

This is the only thing that comes to my mind. I am not sure it is relevant,
but I hope it helps. It is "The New Americans", here is the link:

> Hello, everyone--
>
> I have a question for a student writing a Senior Thesis on the ways

> any documentaries on this topic?
>
> We're interested specifically in documentaries (short or long form) and
> not fictional representations of language brokering.
>
> The student has done a fine job of learning the excellent scholarly
> literature on this important topic, and she is making good use of this
> literature as sources of both forms of argument and data--she is not in a
> position to do her own original research. But she would like to expand the
> sources of her data, and we were thinking documentaries could be one way to
> do that. (And if you have other suggestions for sources of data on this
> topic, that is welcome as well, of course!)
>
> I will be happy to compile suggestions and circulate them to the list.
>
> Thank you in advance for your help.
