Film DescriptionA small town south of the Mexican border decides to take control of their own community and stem the tide of migration to the US. This short documentary film chronicles their unique solution to stopping the exodus from their town: the creation of a theme-park event, a simulated border crossing complete with fake 'border patrol' and balaclava-clad 'coyotes'. Through a 'journey' across the border and a poetic exploration of the town itself, this film details the impact of migration on Mexican communities and adds a fresh perspective to the ongoing immigration debate.Comments |
