1956-1962: Refuges from the Cold War immigrated to America, such as people from Hungary. Operation Peter Pan involved 14,000 Cuban children coming to the U.S.
1965- The Quota System ended, increasing the migration of people in various parts of Aisa
1980: 125,000 Cuban people seek refuge in Florida, and traveled via boat.
1986: Ronald Reagan grants amnesty to 3 million people, using the Simpson- Mazzoli Act

The above events are more recent, and currently affect the collective identity of specific groups of people. With all events that are included in the history section of the documentary, it will be paired with specific interviews relevant to the event. This would provide a vast understanding of how cultural identity can change, due to factors unrelated to the specific person. In terms of the script, featuring 1-2 events from this list would give us a broad overview of immigration history, and the current state of the collective identities of all cultural/ethic groups in the U.S. We are continuing to write the script, and record our voiceovers. This will give us a good outline to base our graphics and videos on. We are working to get more interviewees, and have scheduled another person to be interviewed after spring break.
