Dick is right. "Every American should see this." It is real and it is striking. In some places it stands 18 feet tall and looks like the gates of Mordor. In other places, it is barely 10 feet tall and looks like it was put together with a stapler. It runs from the Colorado River directly into the Pacific. It is big, intense and intimidating. And it is unfinished. Gaping holes are everywhere. Physically it’s confusing. Politically it’s puzzling. Ideologically it’s complicated. But for Dick and Ron, who both live within a few miles of the border, defending it is simply a matter of protecting themselves and preserving their own beliefs. Drug smugglers don't come to the United States to make an honest living. As the recent killing of Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas shows, the border is more than a moral line in the sand. The fence is real. We recommend a visit.

def going to pass along to friends
I think your entire project is very well done and look forward to more.
makes me think of "breaking Bad" with a much better picture
Thancks for your comment !
I believed for a moment that all american citizen were going back to the old "sheriff" point of view like "an eye for eye..." and bla bla bla...
Yes this documentary could be a part of the true but it's more complicated than it looks. It's about economy, about human being and it will be about global warming problems and results. Believe me or not drug will be a minor problem in the few decades...
Ouya is correct, though. The aspect I noted is just one small part of the issue. It is very complicated. This is a great short film, because it shows one particular aspect of illegal immigration, AND makes clear how many other issues there are as well.
Beautiful vistas of the U.S. southwest. I live in Arizona. You captured the reality with visual finesse and dignity.
Nice choice of music in this piece, I love Gustavo Santaolalla, especially Walking in Tokyo.
I really enjoyed them. Superb.

This is so Real, honest, and extremely eye opening.
You are truly a great person.
This is dramatic, important filmmaking. Congratulations.
I remember the days when possession of a reefer was a felony offence in Cali.
And I'm glad most of you people don't live and vote in AZ...
Content however is frustrating. The people selling the dope are only as scum and the people that create the demand. The US has itself to blame for the border smuggeling.
wow!
