Q&A following the screening with Pamela Yates, Paco de Onís, and Alex Gil
Moderated by Nathaniel LaCelle-Peterson (Yale Film and Media Studies)

“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.”
