In Borderland, we journey with immigrants resisting and organizing for their human rights in the shadow of the vast border industrial complex, a multi-billion dollar business of surveillance, detention, and deportation effectively embedding the border in every corner of our nation. The interwoven stories of courageous immigrants seeking a way forward sheds light on the human cost of the struggle, as the threat to themselves and democracy looms with immigration used as a wedge issue for political gain and a gateway to authoritarian rule.
Tickets $5. To benefit: CT Students for a Dream. Q&A with filmmakers Pamela Yates and Paco de Onís following the film. Spanish subtitles. All are welcome. For tickets and additional information:
