Border Film Project

The Border Film Project (Spanish: Proyecto fotográfico de frontera) is an art project examining United States-Mexico border immigration from two perspectives. The project gave disposable cameras to two groups on different sides of the United States, Mexico border: illegal migrants crossing the desert and the Minutemen volunteers trying to stop them. Photos reveal facets of the dispute previously unavailable to the public: men hopping fences, riding trucks, and sleeping in the desert. The photographs are now displayed at art galleries across the country and a book was released on April 1, 2007, through Harry N. Abrams.
