This past Monday (3/19/2012) Sion Papi Productions had an interview with Sarah Aponte the librarian for the Dominican studies institute in City College. We had a short interview in which we asked questions about the history of the Dominican Republic and the very first migrants. We found new information that we didn't really know about since that day. After the interview we did some research in the library. We found two very interesting books, Multicultural American edited by Ronald H. Bayor and a thesis statement by Nelly E. Marte Ph.D in May of 2008 called "The Experience of Early Parental Separation Due to Piecemeal Immigration To The United States among Dominicans from New York University School Of Social Work" both books have had very interesting facts to help our film "To Whom It May Concern" flourish.
This has been a great investment of time as we have found such great pieces of evidence to help support our film and help get great examples that can contribute to making a great film. While we were in City College we found many statistics that can be put in the film. Statistics that show that Latinos are the five largest populations in the US in 2000 and 2007, US Born Dominicans vs Dominican Immigrants in the US 2000 and 2007, Top counties with Dominican concentration 2000 and 2007.
The research we have been doing has began to hep us with organizing the ideas for the film and how exactly they should be arranged to show the viewers what we want them to see.
