Border South is a documentary film that explores the migration crisis along the North American migrant trail. The film focuses on the experiences of migrants as they journey through Mexico to reach the United States. The documentary shows the challenges and dangers that migrants face as they try to cross the US-Mexico border, including kidnappings, extortion, and violence from gangs and smugglers.
The film also highlights the role of governments, both in Mexico and the United States, in exacerbating the crisis. Mexican authorities crack down on migrants, often with brutal force, forcing them into increasingly dangerous territory. Meanwhile, the United States has implemented policies such as family separation and the Migrant Protection Protocols, which have made it more difficult for migrants to seek asylum.
Throughout the film, we hear from migrants themselves, as well as advocates and activists who are fighting for their rights. The documentary sheds light on the human toll of the migration crisis, as well as the broader structural issues that underlie it. Ultimately, Border South is a powerful and urgent call to action, demanding that we recognize and address the injustices faced by migrants on both sides of the border.
