Understanding the current immigration crisis requires more than can be summed up in one article or TV news segment. CROSSING ARIZONA - a hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival - is the only film that tells the story of how the debate reached the intensity it has today from the inside out, through an intimate and far reaching look at the debate as it has developed over two years at its hottest point - along the Arizona/Sonora border - providing context and depth to the news headlines.
Heightened security along the Texas and California borders funnels an estimated 4,500 undocumented migrants, most traveling on foot, into remote sectors of the Arizona desert on a daily basis. The perilous journey, which can take up to four days, has led to the deaths of thousands of migrants. The influx of migrants and rising death toll has elicited impassioned responses and complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class and national security. Through the eyes of frustrated ranchers, local activists, desperate migrants, and the Minutemen who've become darlings of the national media, CROSSING ARIZONA reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.
