Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi Biography

On May 1, 2006, life imitated art, for the real A Day Without A Mexican. Filmmakers Sergio Arau & Yareli Arizmendi, whose objective in making their critically acclaimed film A Day Without A Mexican was to open the dialogue on the issue of immigration, are experts on the subject. At the podium, their informed and thought-provoking lecture is from their hearts and from the forefront of this crucial issue. They are documenting the process and the outcome in hopes of furthering the discussion of the contribution made to our society and economy by not just the Latino immigrants, but by all immigrants.

MTV Award Winning director Sergio Arau and acclaimed actress Yareli Arizmendi are the husband and wife duo and co-creators of A Day Without a Mexican, a politically charged masterpiece of wit, irreverence and social commentary. This 2004 film, which is a fable intended to warn the public, is now reality, with immigrants' rights on the forefront of the political and social landscape. It not only illustrates the impact of Mexican and Mexican Americans on Californias economy, but highlights the growing cultural presence and power of Latinos (the nation's largest group of immigrants and biggest minority) in America. Arau's & Arizmendis multi-media lecture is a searing and poignant commentary exploring topical news items with a Latino point of view.
