Border: The Movie

California filmmaker Chris Burgard’s award-winning, feature-length documentary, BORDER, is a film that takes a firsthand look at the dire and real human consequences of America’s failure to secure its southern borders. BORDER unleashes a haunting, inside look at what has arguably become a war zone: Rape Trees,  drug smuggling, illegal immigration, sex trafficking, Mexican military incursions and more—all taking place at the United States’ southern border. From drug cartels and smuggler towns to besieged American ranchers routinely finding dead bodies on their properties, BORDER gives the viewer a front row seat.

In footage of illegal border crossings and captures by the Border Patrol, this documentary focuses on the staggering number of brutally victimized people illegally crossing to the United States from Mexico. The film includes startling covert thermal imaging footage of drug smugglers, a mere seven yards away from the hidden film crew, moving millions of dollars of drugs across the border into the United States where U.S. National Guard troops were forced to retreat on January 3rd of 2007.

BORDER takes you on a journey from state to state and exposes a failed system and a failed policy that Burgard and crew courageously dare to unveil. Presenting the facts and leaving it to the viewer to digest the stunning reality that exists along our southern border with Mexico, BORDER stands as an historic account of our broken border.
