First, watch the first video. Then watch the subsequent three videos that happened 8 years later. Before 1990, most people in the town had never even seen a hispanic before. Just 25 years later, Hispanics would come to make up 37% of the population of Postville. The story in the documentary starts off: A small jewish community from New York decided to move out into a small quiet rural farming community in Iowa and start up a meat processing plant. At first they just employed members of their own jewish community, but then as the business rapidly expanded, the meat plant turned to immigrants. Already by the time of the documentary (in the first video) the number of Mexicans working in the plant had come to outnumber the number of jews who had settled in the community.
