"Tony & Janina's American Wedding" Film Trailer -Directed by Ruth Leitman

TONY & JANINA'S AMERICAN WEDDING, is a feature length documentary that gets to the heart of the broken U.S. immigration system, when after 19 years in America, a Chicago family is torn apart, as Janina Wasilewski is deported back to Poland. Set on the backdrop of the Chicago political scene and the comprehensive immigration reform movement, this film follows the Wasilewski familys struggle to be reunited, as their Senator Barack Obama, rises to the Presidency. This film is the untold immigration story, that breaks out of the stereotypes and illuminates the catch-22 that every undocumented Immigrant in America faces today. By focusing on this family within the larger context, the film reaches into larger issues of Migration, Citizenship and Human Rights while removing the racially charged, negative stereotypes that have often become synonymous with immigration issues in the country.

This film will serve as tool to broaden the conversation in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Movement as an agent for change and to galvanize a nation polarized on this issue, in order to help create more humane laws for the 12 million undocumented living within our borders.

HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT FAMILY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A FUCKIN' STUPID AIRPORT JOB!!! WAS THAT GUY EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO THAT??!!! Idź Polska! Jesteśmy niesamowite ... i zawsze będzie! <3

9/11 terrorists were travelling back and forth to the USA as many times as they wanted --and nobody has ever stopped them. But a decent family is victimized by this system.

The question is: what did she do to get refused?

[dantescritic]

True patriotism, and what America is about. The Christian Right-Wing of this country will be the end of it. Never have I seen such an ignorant mass of blithering idiots. The man is better off in Poland, at least they understand what fascism can do to families.

Irrational people don't understand what family means- like the yellow shirt idiot. Obama is not going to care, to tell you the truth, because he doesn't know what it is like to live that kind of situation. He will understand only if he is taken away from his wife and daughters. You take things for granted when you don't live through problems.

the ten year bar and it's limited waivers are unreasonable and not in the best interest of this nation.

Szokujacy film!!! Mam nadzieje, ze bedziecie razem!

God Bless you!!

I think that people in this country are forgetting our roots and the fact that most of our families only go back a generation or two at most. I listened to an interview about this film and think our immigration system needs to be worked on. This was a family that contributed to our society not took away, and deporting a little AMERICAN boy because his mother was is wrong on many levels.
