CROSSING ARIZONA
distributed by Cinema Guild and APT Worldwide
Official Selection of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Sundance Channel broadcast premiere November 2006.
Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed illegal border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers – an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. This influx of migrants crossing through Arizona and the attendant rising death toll have elicited complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class, labor and national security. “Crossing Arizona” examines the crisis through the eyes of those directly affected and reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.
