Walking the Line
This 2005 documentary by Jeremy Levine & Landon Van Soest provides a scathing critique of our failed border policy. When migrants cross the desert, thousands die; those who make it face civilian militias. The film depicts the anti-immigrant vigilantes, private citizens who take the law into their own hands. It explores the ambiguity between what is patriotic, what is moral and what is just.
Melanie Fox, Intern at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) and Luba Vangelova, principal of Catalyst Communications, a marketing communications consultancy, will facilitate a discussion about our immigration policy and offer ways to change it.
This month’s event is planned by the Peace and Justice Coalition of Prince George’s County.
