In his interview with Breakthrough, he reveals how his work led him to the Dominican Republic to interview men that had lived in the United States for 30 years legally, only to be detained and deported for minor crimes. These men were forced to return to a place where they had no ties, separated from their families, and subjected to the shame and ridicule of being a "deportee."</p> <p>Breakthrough</p> <p>www.breakthrough.tv</p> </div> <a href="/blog/42077-professor-david-brotherton-deported-to-the-d-r">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/42069-agatha-joseph-exposing-detention 2008-11-19T04:29:13Z Breakthrough <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JuAFKoNS9c8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JuAFKoNS9c8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/42069-agatha-joseph-exposing-detention"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47471" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Agatha Joseph's daughter was placed in seven detention centers over three years.
