The SXSW award-winning documentary takes a multidisciplinary approach to the controversy surrounding the U.S.–Mexico border wall.

With its environmental focus, artistic cinematography, and presentation of a diverse range of political opinions, the documentary promises to provide a space for the entire Southwestern community to come together and find common ground. After the screening, members of the documentary’s production crew and cast will engage in a rich discussion of the film and its thematic elements.
