EAST OF SALINAS A story about immigration, childhood and circumstance.

View in a browser. "East of Salinas is powerful, educational, heartrending, inspirational and unforgettable."  Francisco Jiménez, Santa Clara University EAST OF SALINAS A story about immigration, childhood and circumstance.  East of Salinas begins with 3rd grader José Anzaldo telling us what he wants to be when he grows up. His parents work from sun up to sun down in the heart of California's "Steinbeck Country,” the Salinas Valley. With little support available at home, José often turns to his teacher, Oscar Ramos, a son of migrant farm workers himself. But José was born in Mexico — and he's on the cusp of understanding the implications.  What is lost when kids like José are denied opportunities?  José is Oscar's most gifted student. But how do you teach students like José, who have no place to do their homework? How do you teach a child who moves every few months? As we watch José’s story play out over the course of three years, we begin to understand the cruelty of circumstance for José and the many millions of undocumented kids like him.
