Dear friends,
Join us this Wednesday, August 23, at 7:30 pm, at BES for a screening
of "Beyond Borders" from the Ironweed Film Club:
http://www.ironweedfilms.com/films/beyond-borders
Beyond Borders moves past the headlines and takes an in-depth look at
the hot-button issues of legal and illegal immigration. The film
explores the forces driving the immigration controversy from both
sides of the debate. Anti-immigration activists demand we stop this
"illegal alien invasion," while some pro-immigration forces speak of a
Reconquista, a reclaiming of the American Southwest by Mexico. In
search of a middle ground, Beyond Borders travels across the U.S. and
beyond to give voice to those on the front-line of the issue,
including candid interviews with Border Patrol agents, radio talk show
celebrities, demographers, the Minute Men, potential migrants, and a
host of experts including Noam Chomsky (Distorted Morality) and
Gustavo Arellano (Ask A Mexican). Beyond Borders is an entertaining
and enlightening film that asks: Is migration a basic human right? (75
min.)
Membership in the BES Ironweed Film Club is free. Contact Emil
Volcheck at volch...@acm.org if interested in joining.
Thanks,
--Emil
