Forget the Alamo: Rent This Flick
A Day Without A Mexican is a political and social satire disguised as a mockumentary/thriller. Watching it, I couldn't help but think of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), where that Irish satirist recommended a solution to Irish poverty: breeding Irish infants as food for the rich.

With the governor conspicuous by his absence, it's up to the redoubtable Senator Steven Abercrombie III (John Getz) to grapple with the problem. Unfortunately Abercrombie is widely known for his anti-immigration stance, and with California falling apart he hardly seems to be the right man to take charge of the situation!

A Day Without a Mexican [VHS]
What would happen if all the Mexicans in the state of California disappeared? This is the fascinating premise of this heartwarming comedy. Spurred on by the provocative ad campaign, the film attracted extensive coverage from the news media including CNN, the CBS Evening News and the Fox Network. English- and Spanish- speaking audiences alike flocked to see this hilarious mockumentary, which garnered an impressive $3.4 million in its first limited domestic release, and continues to break box office records since it's opening in Mexico.
