ABOUT BORDER SOUTH/FRONTERA SUR
Every year hundreds of thousands of migrants make their way along the trail running from southern Mexico to the US border. Gustavo’s gunshot wounds from Mexican police, which have achieved abundant press attention, might just earn him a ticket out of Nicaragua. Meanwhile anthropologist Jason painstakingly collects the trail’s remains, which have their own stories to tell. Fragmented stories from Hondurans crossing through southern Mexico assemble a vivid portrait of the thousands of immigrants who disappear along the trail. 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.
In addition to the screening of Border South/Frontera Sur, there will be a
discussion with director Raúl Paz Pastrana and Jason de León (Professor; UCLA Anthropology) on Thu, Oct 29, 5 PM.
