"The Invisible Mexicans of Deer Canyon" A film by John Carlos Frey, USD alumnus, who will share his experience after the viewing of his new film.

Award winning filmmaker John Carlos Frey exposes the harsh realities of life for thousands of day laborers in Southern California.

Mr. Frey spent a year filming the lives of undocumented Mexican immigrants living in clandestine shacks and shantytowns within eyesight of multi-million dollar mansions. Over two thousand individuals live outdoors in the secluded canyons of San Diego, California, invisible to the local population. Their shacks have no electricity, running water or sanitation. The migrants live within several yards of some of the most expensive real estate in America and work in the local landscape, construction, agriculture and tourism industires.

"The Invisible Mexicans of Deer Canyon" is a never before seen expose of migrant life and the untold side of the immigration debate.
