Taught to Hate

Bravo! I had the opportunity to see this movie at the Queens Film Festival and it was great!

Congratulations to everyone that was part of the film! The plot and the actors were excellent. I definitely believe that this movie can touch hearts, especially those of our youth.

It is true, the foundations of our society start with the schooling that we get at home. Hate and violence not only bring tragedy to the victims but self destruction to those that practice them. This movie illustrates that in a very simple yet artistic way.

Good luck to all! I really hope that many people get to see this production.

This movie had great screening and the way that they captured how these things really happen in our society was good.all of the actors did a wonderful job playing there roles which made the movie even more interesting.i would recommend showing this movie to others because it creates awareness among the population about the discrimination crisis all over the world.The way the movie was setup to show both sides of the story made it easier to understand why there even is a crisis.people from all over the world are getting the wrong information and are being influenced by the wrong people.on the other side the other reason there's a crisis is because foreigners are coming to America for jobs that they don't have in there countries.basically i would say this is a great movie to use if i was trying to stress a point about what effects discrimination has on the world.

I saw this movie as a part of my Business Communications class as a total surprise. The reason being is because my teacher just decided that we should see this. From the beginning I didn't find it that interesting but as I continued to watch it it began to catch my attention more and more. During the movie I had a flashback because I live in Long Island I remembered hearing on the news about they Latino that got beat up by a bunch of high school kids and thats what the movie was inspired by. This movie shows what ignorance people have and what there ignorance can do to someone else. For instance, the uncle had a negative attitude for Latin day laborers so thats what his nephew started to think. Overall the acting was second rate for the most part but it did prove a good point.

I was truly impressed with this film. I believe it captured true emotions, in all aspect, that people face with hate crimes. It showed how this type of crime effect both parties involved as well as the family of those involved. I am happy to hear of the James Sotomayor is being sought out to present this film to high school student so they can also be reminded of the consequences and the severity involved with racism. I was also impressed with the setting that was established to show the character's upbringing as well as the family members that impacted that as well. The film also showed how till this day many immigrants see the United States as "The land of opportunity" when in fact it is even harder for someone to find employment in this country without being a legal resident or citizen. I would like to thank all parties involved in making this project and wish them the best of luck! The message involved should truly be shared!

This movie does a great job showing the root of such a degrading problem as it is prejudice. As bad as hate is, it is easy to let the cause of it pass us by undetected. This movie let us see one of the sources of hate and makes us aware so we can avoid this kind of tragedies. If we take the time to understand the reason for people actions we might be able to help each other correct the worst problems of our society. It is easy to judge someone's action and condemn everything they are and do but the difficult part is to try and dig deep to find the reason for it. Everything we ignore we make up instead of finding out the truth. Finding the truth will make us a more tolerant society willing to help people and not hurt them. Great job by everyone involved in sending this message across.
