BORDER SOUTH Film Screening

Mexico and the United States crack down on the trails north, forcing immigrants into more dangerous territory. Told against the backdrop of the North American migrant trail, 'Border South' (2019) weaves together migrant stories of resilience and survival from different vantage points. The film exposes a global migration system that renders human beings invisible in life as well as death.

The documentary runs 88 minutes, and will be followed by a discussion with David Carballo (Assistant Provost for General Education and Associate Professor of Archaeology, Anthropology, and Latin American Studies)
