I watched this after reading some mixed reviews. I really tried to watch it and waited for it to get better but it didn't.
It drags on and on and is slow to get to the point.
It's an incredible story but you ate better off reading about it in wikipaedia... you will seriously find out more information and save yourself a couple of boring hours

Interesting topic but uninteresting movie
Amazing
This is not a traditional documentary but it's done so uniquely. Bisbee is a great town that I have been to countless amount of times. You can see the conflicts the locals have regarding their stance on the deportations and the story is told from all sides. Even if you have never heard of bisbee, this movie is still a must watch.
Many unanswered questions
I would have preferred a little less re-enactment and a little more history. What were the fates of the deportees? Did any deportees return? How many persons were indicted? How many indictments led to trials, and how many trials led to convictions? The interviews with present-day townspeople are interesting, though.
