Conor Oberst is taking on the immigration debate in full force: Not only has the Bright Eyes mastermind hosted a concert, recorded a new song, and written an open letter to raise awareness, but now his label, Team Love Records, is set to distribute a new documentary on the issue, as well. The Other Side of Immigration, which is based on over 700 interviews in Mexican towns, seeks to provide "a perspective on undocumented immigration rarely witnessed by American eyes, challenging audiences to imagine more creative and effective solutions to the problem." The hour-long film was written, directed, shot, edited, and produced by Roy Germano.

Pre-order a DVD copy of the documentary, which also features music from My Morning Jacket, Oberst, and Cuarteto Latinoamericano, over on Team Love's website right now and check out the trailer below:

I bet hacksaw's pretty conflicted on this one. I'm sure he feels that Conor is so brave for supporting this cause. On the other hand, hacksaw probably doesn't give a shit about illegals.

I bet he already has a leaked copy too.

I just saw that other thread. It makes this one funnier.
