UMM student-produced documentary to air April 7 on Maine Public

“Who Made You in America?,” a film created by University of Maine at Machias students in Alan Kryszak’s documentary class, will be rebroadcast at 11 a.m. April 7 on Maine Public Television.

The film that explores contemporary issues of immigration premiered at UMM Feb. 18 and aired on Maine Public April 5.

It features interviews with 22 diverse people from the Down East region, including fishermen, construction workers, immigrants, Native Americans and veterans.

The documentary film course is part of New Media & Arts at the university. Last year, students produced a film, “Whatever Works: Exploring Opiate Addiction,” which aired on Maine Public.
