As
Latinos grow into America's largest minority, the community is being
targeted by the US military as a new and steady source of recruits.
Entering into the lowest and most dangerous ranks, Latinos have been
disproportionately killed in American's latest wars. "Yo Soy el Army : America's New Military Caste," Big Noise's co-production with Producciones Cimarron, looks at the militarization of the immigration debate.
Alongside the Spanish-language media campaigns, the false promises and
stringent laws that have even resulted in the deportation of
non-citizen veterans, the US government is now considering the DREAM Act, legislation that offers a path to citizenship through military service.
