 John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley.\n\nSpecial thanks to our

 Unwanted\n\nYear: 1975\nCountry: U.S.\nLanguage: English\nRuntime: 50 
 min.\nDigital. Color.\n\nWorld Premiere of New Restoration\n\n“They come 
 in search of the American Dream\, only to find they have become the 
 unwanted\,” begins this groundbreaking television documentary on the 
 troubles faced by Latino immigrants in the United States. Amid calls for 
 broader governmental reform of the immigration process\, the film focuses 
 on human roles in the everyday drama\, casting immigrants’ plight as 
 powerless political pawns in a game that exploits undocumented migrants’ 
 labor while criminalizing them at the same time. As Pablo\, Gabriel and 
 Yolanda Lopez and the Garcia family seek to improve their livelihood in a 
 new country\, away from economic troubles at home\, they face repeated 
 profiling\, raids and deportation by border patrol and immigration 
 enforcement officers\, creating a revolving door of frustration for all 
 involved.\n\nProducer-director José Luis Ruiz produced programs for KABC\, 
 KNBC and KCET throughout the 1970s\, establishing a Latino presence in film 
 and television\, and was later executive director of the National Latino 
 Communications Center (NLCC) and a founding board member of the National 
 Association of Latino Arts and Culture (NALAC). Writer Frank del Olmo was 
 the first Latino listed on the masthead of the Los Angeles Times\, where he 
 worked as a reporter for decades covering issues of illegal immigration and 
 the Latino community\, earning a Pulitzer Prize in 1984.\n\nThe Unwanted 
 won an award for Current Affairs Special at the 1975 Los Angeles Area Emmy 
 Awards after its primetime airing on KNBC Channel 4. Praised at the time by 
 the Los Angeles Times for the choice to “minimize statistics\, to 
 humanize stereotypes\,” the documentary and the discussion around who 
 gets the privilege to be American is as relevant as ever 50 years later\, 
 as immigration policy remains hotly debated and deportations continue. This 
 revolving door has yet to stop spinning.—Brian Belak\n\nDCP. KNBC.
