Orgullosos de estar aqui

Miguel, that was really excellent work my friend. You continue to amaze me brother!

Excellent work Miguel. I look forward to seeing you when you return to New Orleans.

good work! well done

Great story. Sucks I didn't get a chance to GL it b4 it got chosen, but it's great that it's airing of course. I find it strange that I'm living in the time when history will talk about the backlash against immigrants, also brought on by some of us who were once oppressed and hated against. Fear brings about the ugliest senitments. It's the same story of Americans vs. the immigrant worker presented in a fresh and thoughtful way.

I'm so glad your piece is airing...its one of the best ive seen on here

Very well done, great cross section of people. I got a feel for the city, the people and the situatioin. You used your music in a very powerful way. You included enough text information to fill me in but didn't take it to far to lose my intrest. Great work, amazing first pod. Congrats on getting it on TV.

I gotta plug myself though, if you get a chance click on our pic and select "current creation" its a really short promo.

Thank you for your art.

I love this piece SO much! It is thoughtful, organized, and very well done.
I am a new member to the current tv community and feel like I could use all the help I can get to understand how to make pods. It appears you know what you are doing! I would really appreciate any kind of helpful feedback you might have on my most current piece called "Shoe Shine Man". Thank you!

Thank you for your support, and for your comment on my pod . I really appreciate it. Good luck with your future productions!

This is clearly an eye-opener, educational pod, that can spread awareness about an issue that wouldn’t be covered from this perspective by the conventional media. I congratulate you for doing such a great job in putting it together. All production values were applied very nicely, and therefore made the essence of this pod even stronger. I look forward to seeing your future productions. In the meantime, GL from me on this one!

When you get a chance, please check out my pod ( ”A Humane Society” ) and let me know what you think. Thanks!

What amazing work. Stellar storytelling, editing. I am stunned at the talent on Current TV, PLEASE keep podding. GL I live in New York City and was a volunteer and became friends with the Iron Workers, these blue collar guys don't ask how is the air quality before they offer a helping hand, they are the true heros, thank you for telling this story. If you get a chance come support my newest pod Shadow Boxer link Getreel

This is the best piece I've seen on current. Professionally done on all accounts.

congratulations! i just saw your piece on air just now. good job.

Hey bro,
Great work. I wanted to do a piece like this as soon as I found out that people from Los Angeles were leaving to NO for work. Radio stations were advertising the work in NO. And of course since our people are always trying to prosper and get a better way of life this is what happened. Once again great piece. ILLEGAL does not mean EXPLOITATION!

Great work. Not something that I would have otherwise thought about. Def not an MSM story.

This video shows one of the many untold stories unfolding in New Orleans -- one that I had not given any thought to. Thank you for the time and energy you put into making this video. Very thought provoking and very well made.

This piece inspires dialogue in a very polarized country and that I think is the key to change. Great editing.

Jaw dropping. Runs a little long for Current, maybe, but I can't argue that every minute isn't put to good use. I would've instantly GL'd this if I had the chance. You've got stiff competition in this category, but by every standard, this deserves to go to air. Good luck!

BTW: Regarding your question about my pod, LLOYD KAUFMAN crosses that line, it was at number one over the weekend, and I expect it to make it back there soon, and thence, hopefully, to air. The response here has been great -- the climb has been steady and, in comparison to other pods that reached number one, fairly quick. I'm stil hopeful that I'll make the grade soon.

amazing...such a breadth of issues, very well put together, great great piece, best of luck

Muy buen trabajo, tocaste un tema muy importante y diferente acerca de lo que esta pasando en New Orleans, ademas de que los mexicanos que estan trabajando alla necesitan tener una voz para que se respeten sus derechos.

bien hecho, esa es la forma correcta de hacerlo. sigue asi.

great job! muy buen trabajo...
mucha suerte en el contest...

Nations shouldn't have borders...every one wants the opportunity to have a good life. Unfortunately, exploiting the poor and working class is not a new thing...Thank you for this piece.

Video GEM. Good luck in the judging. -zen

Wow! My jaw dropped a couple of times during your pod. Fascinating! I hope a LOT of people get to see this pod and learn about what is really going on in N.O. Really nice pacing too!

Well done. I hope you can get this film in front of a wide audience. You might let the Southern Poverty Law Center know about your work. They may be interested in helping you to get the film in front of audiences.

Miguel, You've done a wonderful job with the material. You should be proud. This is the type of critically important peice that needs to be made, today.

brilliant. very nice. thank you. this will go up on my blog in a few days.

awesome effort to show what mainstream media would never allow us to see.

Thank you for telling a complicated issue through a captivating lens.

Very good job for a first timer to short docs - miguel should be very proud of this work. As the son of a once illigal immigrant who is now nuclear physicist and professor, i must say we should foster the growth of immigrant families who are already here in the US. The fraud committed against people who work is bullshit.
