"New World Border" is now available for rental at Amazon for just $1.99
"New World Border":
A film documenting the rise of human rights abuses along the US-Mexico border since the implementation of border walls (such as Operation Gatekeeper) that have been erected in populated areas throughout the border region during the last decade.
"A must-see documentary for the American society of the 21st century...this documentary has powerful and graphic explanatory power: why so many people have been crossing the border into El Norte, the repressions and brutalities they have experienced, their fears but also their hopes and dreams, and their reaffirmation of our identity as a nation of immigrants and the human rights embedded in our country's founding principles"
--Ronald Takaki, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of California, Berkeley
