We recently added Foreign Parts to the DBRL collection. The film played at the 2011 True False Film Fest and was a New York Times critics pick. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

Filmed in 2008 and 2009, an intimate portrait of the auto repair shops and junkyards that lie in the shadow of the New York Mets’ Citi Field Stadium, in Willets Point, Corona, Queens, and the hardscrabble community of immigrants who work and live there. Once ignored and neglected by the city government, these residents recently became the target of a $3 billion redevelopment project of malls, offices, and high-rise condos.

We recently added 9500 Liberty to the DBRL collection. The film won the audience award for documentary at the St. Louis International Film Festival in 2009 and currently has a rating of 92% from critics at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

Prince William County, Virginia becomes ground zero in America’s explosive battle over immigration policy when elected officials adopt a law requiring police officers to question anyone they have “probable cause” to suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government, targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens.
