Crossing Arizona

CROSSING ARIZONA is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the hotly debated issues of border security and illegal immigration. Heightened security along the U.S./Mexico border has funneled undocumented migrants through the brutal deserts of Arizona and claimed thousands of lives. The influx of migrants and the rising death toll has elicited impassioned responses. Through the eyes of frustrated ranchers, border patrol agents, local politicians, farmers dependent on an illegal workforce, humanitarian activists, desperate migrants, and the Minutemen who quickly became the darlings of the national news media, this powerful documentary unveils the surprising political stances people take when immigration policy fails everyone.
