San José, CA

In the capital of “Silicon Valley,” the Tomorrow’s America crew has explored the impact of immigration on the city’s politics and its finances, its Italian cultural heritage, the condition of city schools, the effectiveness of law enforcement, and the role of labor in the expanding high-tech environment.

Leaders and decision-makers from all walks of life in San José have been interviewed by producer George Colburn during two lengthy visits in 2008 and 2009. The end result is a dramatic introduction to one of the nation’s most multi-ethnic communities and a storyline that is likely to be repeated in communities around the country in the years ahead.
