Be nice to see a film made about the Brazilian people that started arriving to the Vineyard in the early 1990's and now number well past 6000. None of their information is ever collected or published. The Vineyard migrant population, housing dilemma, school system and all factors relating to island life can't really be studied without including the migration of Brazilian's to Martha's Vineyard.
