"FARMINGVILLE"
TASK TWO:  WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FILM WAS MADE?
"Education and communication have been the key to mitigating the conflict."
                   - Kitty Merrill, "The Lessons of Farmingville",
The Independent
Carlos Sandoval Catherine Tambini
Part 1: As you watched the film in class, I asked you to take notes and write some questions you would ask Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini if you had the chance.  Now I will ask you to read through this transcript of an online discussion group moderated by the Washington Post.  This discussion group was held the day after "Farmingville" aired on PBS' "P.O.V."  As you read through the transcript, see if anyone had asked questions similar to the ones you may have had regarding the making of the film.
