A Day Without A Mexican

A Day Without a Mexican is a movie about how the state of California would be affected in a hypothetical situation if every Latino in the state disappeared. The movie was directed by Sergio Auro who has also directed movies such as Harvest of Empire and Plan B. The movie stars actors John Getz and Maureen Flannigan. This movie won best screenplay at the Cartagena Film Festival in 2004. This movie is a comedy but lacks jokes.

In my opinion A Day Without a Mexican is a movie that people should watch if they would like to know how the agricultural industry would be affected if there were no illegal immigrants. This movie also gives you some facts about illegal immigration that people may not have known.

What happens in the movie is one day all the Latinos suddenly disappear except for one. Then the state of California goes into turmoil because there is nobody to work in the agricultural business and that means that the people that are left can not get any fresh produce. So then people want the Latinos back and they start experimenting on the only Latino left to try to see where they went and to get them to come back. to know the rest you should watch it.

"One of most memorable scenes in the movie is when farming is outlawed a Caucasian male is caught carrying various produce and a couple kilos of cocaine and carrying the produce is a worse crime than carrying the cocaine."
hows that?
Do all the mexicans suddenly disappear, or is it as if the country developed without them?
