The award-winning film -
Tony & Janina's American Wedding is
making the rounds with screenings throughout the country. The
documentary film follows a Polish American family through the red tape of the
current U.S. immigration system, telling the untold human rights story of
post-9/11, that every undocumented immigrant in America faces today.
After 18 years in
America, Tony and Janina Wasilewski’s family was torn apart when Janina was deported
back to Poland, taking their 6 year old son Brian with her. Set against the
backdrop of the Chicago political scene, and featuring Illinois Congressman
Luis Gutierrez at the heart of the immigration reform movement, this film
follows the family’s 3-year struggle to be reunited, as their Senator Barack
Obama rises to the Presidency.
