Bleeding Borders – Movie about the US Mexico Border

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under discount wallpaper border | 25 Comments »

This is a short clip of a documentary that will soon be completed.

http://www.bleedingborders.com

We are in post production of a documentary about the US/MX border. Originally, we went down to the border to make my film to embarrass the US Government into doing their job. What we found is they are doing their job. The border is much more secure than it was in 1995. Now, they are building too many fences.

http://www.bleedingborders.com

Our film crew traveled the entire border from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, filming and interviewing on BOTH sides of the border. After compiling all of the interviews from folks working and living on both sides of the US/MX border, the conclusion is inescapable. The walls we have, don’t really work, and are only a “Speed Bump.” New walls will not work. (Except as a multi-billion dollar speed bump) All the walls in Tijuana have done is drive up the death rate of undocumented workers.

BLEEDING BORDERS is a fresh look at the US/MX border issues. While the border is not completely secure right now, it is much more secure than back in 1995 when thousands of people streamed across nightly. You cannot completely secure a 2,000 mile long border, it would take an Army of at least 200,000 soldiers, and we are not at war with Mexico, they are our second largest trading partner.

One thing stands clear after all of our interviews. It is STUPID to build a wall on any River Section of the Border. The river itself is a natural barrier. It is easier to put a ladder over a wall, than make it across the river without drowning. Undocumented workers from all over the world drown in the river all the time.

As they say in Mexico, “La Frontera Una LLaga Abierto” Mexico is our second largest trading partner in the world.
