- Narrated by Martin Sheen and filmed on location in Baja, California, this half-hour documentary provides a personal view of the history of Mexican immigration to the United States.

- Featuring art work from an exhibition titled "Counter Colon-ialismo," this program offers an alternative perspective on the quincentenary celebration. Besides presenting provocative art pieces addressing various aspects of the colonial encounter, the program also raises questions about the nature of history and its construction. Included in the program are interviews with: Alurista, a Chicano poet and cultural critic; artists David Avalos and Deborah Small from San Diego and Los Angeles-based Karen Atkinson; Native American writer and activist Jan Elliot, editor of the journal Indigenous Thought; Chicano scholar and critic Victor Zamudio-Taylor; and two of the curators of the exhibition, Patricio Chavez from the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego and Liz Lerma from MARS Artspace in Phoenix, Arizona.
- A documentary profile of growing tensions between migrant worker camps and affluent homeowners in north San Diego County, one of the richest and fastest-growing areas in the United States. Here, sharing the same valleys, are homeowners concerned about property values and sanitation, and migrant workers, living in conditions which most Americans expect only in the Third World. This program chronicles the life and death of the Green Valley camp, home to thousands of workers over the last ten years, many of them legalized under the 1986 immigration bill.
