Free Online Film Screening of Border South/Frontera Sur

Fragmented stories from individuals crossing through southern Mexico assemble a vivid portrait of the thousands of immigrants who have disappeared along the trail running from southern Mexico to the US border. “Border South” reveals the immigrants’ resilience, ingenuity, and humor as it exposes a global migration system that renders human beings invisible in life as well as death. (Guatemala, Mexico, USA, 83 minutes. Director: Raúl O. Paz Pastrana.)
