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. 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.

In The Blood is a feature length documentary about the struggles, setbacks and triumphs of the Brentford Football Club and their loyal supporters. Much more than a scrappy underdog sports story, In The Blood is a portrait of a working class community that finds it’s values and traditions on a collision course with the realities of Premier League economics, encroaching gentrification and political apathy. With the clock running down for the struggling Brentford F.C. and a “do or die” season drawing to a close, a group of dedicated fans organize a run for office that blindsides the Labour Party and exposes the passion and loyalty amongst the club’s supporters in this corner of working-class London – it’s in the blood.
