Luciela is six years old and loves her Papi. Her favorite holiday is the 4th of July because every year her Papi throws a huge party. He does one of the best firework shows in Lincoln Heights —their Latinx, immigrant neighborhood in Los Angeles. But this year he can’t, because he’s been deported. So she decides to set off a few sparks of her own.

An epic feature documentary about a coal mining town with a fiery immigrant heritage, once pivotal in fueling America’s industrial revolution and today in decline and struggling to survive and retain its identity, soul and values – all of which were dramatically challenged when four of the town’s white, star football players were charged in the beating death of an undocumented Mexican immigrant named Luis Ramirez. Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Turnley’s most personal work, SHENANDOAH creates a deeply felt portrait of a working class community, and the American Dream on trial.
