“On the last day or two (of Sundance) you hurry between screenings, trying
to catch films everybody tells you not to miss. One I especially admired was
CROSSING ARIZONA.”
-Roger Ebert

“A smart and in-depth look at how Washington policy plays out in the
everyday lives of men and women on both sides of the border.“
-Angela Carone, SAN DIEGO CITYBEAT

“Deftly sustaining many points of view... in a complex, still-evolving
debate.“
-Dennis Harvey, VARIETY

“a one way ticket into the eye of the hurricane of one of the most intense
periods in the ever-controversial immigration debate”
-Luis Alonso Pérez, LA PRENSA
***************
With Americans on all sides of the issue up in arms and Congress embroiled
in a knock-down-drag-out policy battle over how to move forward, CROSSING
ARIZONA shows how we got to where we are today . . .

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.
