- Deputized is a feature length documentary film that examines a hate crime that resulted in the murder of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero. Filmed over three years, the film explores the local and national forces that came together to create an atmosphere of anti-immigrant hatred. The film investigates this story from multiple perspectives, exploring the role of the police who mishandled cases, the school that ignored tensions, the press that sensationalized the issue, the politicians who use the issue to get elected and the justice system that needed a scapegoat. Interviews with local politicians, clergy, immigrants, parents and the main perpetrator try to explain how this very American tragedy could happen.
