100 years after the March 1916 Raid on Columbus by Pancho Villa, we see two cultures celebrate together. Border wars have been present in the past 100 years, but in the towns of Columbus, NM and Palomas, Mexico, you see neighbors and friends. This film looks at both sides of what happened that morning in Columbus in 1916.
