More Details

Summary:

"The border that runs between Tijuana and San Diego is the most heavily militarized border between 'friendly' countries anywhere in the world. Since 1994 when the U.S. instituted Operation Gatekeeper, an average of one person a day has died crossing into the U.S. ... This [film] is a memorable portrait of people who risk everything to come to 'the land of plenty'--and often lose this gamble."--Container.
