How do you make the invisible, visible? You take it away.

(released in May 2004)

One morning California wakes up to find that one third of its population has disappeared. A thick fog surrounds the State and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background.

California is in shock. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten the Golden State's way of life. We delve into the lives of four characters: Mary Jo Quintana, teacher and housewife; Senator Abercrombie, suddenly upgraded to Governor; Louis Mcclaire, ranch owner and agribusiness representative; and Lila Rodriguez, reporter and apparently the only Latina left behind. For all of them, "the disappearance" forces the cracks in their private lives wide open.

Experts pose questions and offer theories: Could this be a UFO kidnapping? Biological terrorism? The Apocalypse and Latinos are the chosen ones? Or perhaps they just left because they were tired of being taken for granted.

As time goes by, the State continues to deteriorate: Garbage has taken over the streets and tears are permanently painted on the faces of most citizens as the 5th largest economy in the world tumbles. The realization that what has disappeared is the very thing that keeps the "California Dream" running -- cooks, gardeners, policemen, nannies, doctors, farm and construction workers, entertainers, athletes, as well as the largest growing market of consumers -- has turned Latinos and their return into the number one priority in the State.

Of course there are those who disagree. A baseball inscribed with hate and ignorance, is tossed at Lila Rodriguez. The last hope for answers has been destroyed. But as despair turns into quiet sorrow, deeply felt memories and heartfelt appreciation yield unexpected results.

Misunderstandings and humorous situations abound, making this a comedic satire...a modern fable, lesson included.

Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights, they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie too.

Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and chemma and have a son in law named jeff.

Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school and take spanish and get a B.

Mexican Americans love their Nana's and their Nono's and their Nina's and their Nino's........ Nano Nano Nina Nono!

Wow, so much hate...this is just a movie meant to entertain, while showing real, evidence-based facts about the economic impact of Mexican and Mexian-American people in California.

There are MILLIONS of mexicans in Oregon, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, & etc.; all places that were NEVER a part of mexico. So the old "the-border-crossed-mexicans" excuse is a cheap fraud. Despite your gripes, the rest is U.S. land now. Get over it. The U.S. & its people have no obligation to tolerate illegal aliens. You need to fix mexico first, instead of peddling your pathetic excuses about "illegals & mexicans are workers, good for economy, cheap vegetables, & blah blahhh." What a farce.

Thank God the U.S. took those territories from mexico or else those lands would still be suffering under the thirdworld poverty & misery that the rest of mexico finds itself in. Now mexican border jumpers want to turn the U.S. into another rotten thirdworld hellhole like the mexico they just escaped. This excuse about mexican "workers" is ridiculous when mexico has even MORE of the highly vaunted mexican "workers" & yet mexico is poor & miserable compared to the U.S. See? Quit making excuses.
