Nach der Razzia (Short 2019)

Nach der Razzia: Directed by Rodrigo Reyes. A large immigration raid in a small Tennessee town leaves emotional fallout as well as far-reaching questions about justice, faith and humanity.

“I only heard about this documentary from a news article and thought it would be interesting to watch. The article said that the documentary was about a small Tennessee town that was negatively affected by an ICE raid. At only 25 minutes itu0026#39;s a very short viewing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI watch documentaries to be informed. I like to be informed about things I wasnu0026#39;t aware of before. The better documentary creators give you the most in depth information.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe title of this short documentary is u0026quot;After the Raid,u0026quot; except I learned nothing about the town after the raid! Yes, I heard how the current immigration laws are bad, which I expected, but I mostly wanted to see and hear how an ICE raid affected this small Tennessee town. Unless it escaped me, not even the townu0026#39;s name was given. I didnu0026#39;t learn anything: not how the raid was done, how many were rounded up in the raid, what company was targeted, the financial impact, etc. There was too much missing information.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat I did hear was the interview of a woman whose husband was taken, the interview of a local woman that took in a family, and some Catholic services. I get it: ICE and their raids impact immigrant families, tell me something I donu0026#39;t know. This documentary even failed as a human interest story. I donu0026#39;t think Iu0026#39;ve ever watched a less informative documentary in my life.”
