There is a war on immigrants. A massive surveillance, militarized and carceral apparatus has been built to capture, imprison and deport millions. But in the shadow of this border industrial-complex, immigrants are building a rights movement envisioning a future rooted in human connection and the sanctity of life.
The United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family with the threat that at any moment they can be captured, incarcerated, deported; their lives destroyed. Borderland: The Line Within not only exposes the profitable business of immigration and its human cost, but weaves together the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes resisting and showing a way forward, intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex, recognizing the human rights of all.
