The Other Side of Immigration
The Other Side of Immigration is a 2010 documentary film directed by Roy Germano that explores why so many people leave the Mexican countryside to work in the United States and what happens to the families and communities they leave behind. The film is based on Germano’s interviews with over 700 households in Mexico, which he carried out while doing Ph.D. research on remittances at the University of Texas at Austin. "The Other Side of Immigration" is distributed by Team Love Records, a company founded by musician

He received a nomination for an Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject in 1984 for "Sewing Woman", a film about his mother's immigration from China to America; a Peabody Award in 1995 for "Coming Out Under Fire", which documented the US military's WW2 policy on gays in the military; and two Sundance Film Festival Awards for his profile of convicted murderers who killed gay men, Licensed to Kill.
