Borderland: The Line Within

This special screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmakers Pamela Yates, Paco de Onís and special guests.

There is a war on immigrants being waged every day in our country, and not just along the southern border – we have become a Borderland, the border is everywhere and within every immigrant. A massive surveillance, militarized and carceral apparatus has been built to capture, detain and deport millions of immigrants.  Conservative forces which seek to influence government policy have created a road map for the mass deportation of immigrants. This is a travesty and we need to shift public opinion to support a movement for policy reform that values the human rights and aspirations of immigrants, and welcomes the economic and cultural contributions they bring to our society. The protagonists of BORDERLAND: THE LINE WITHIN, all immigrants themselves, express these values while exposing the border industrial complex that provides the scaffolding for the war on immigrants.
