DESCRIPTION:
With Americans on all sides of the issue up in arms and Congress embroiled in a knock-down-drag-out policy battle over how to move forward, CROSSING ARIZONA shows how we got to where we are today . . .

Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers ? an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. 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 by it. Frustrated ranchers go out day after day to repair cut fences and pick up the trash that endangers their livestock and livelihoods. Humanitarian groups place water stations in the desert in an attempt to save lives. Political activists rally against anti-migrant ballot initiatives and try to counter rampant fear mongering. Farmers who depend on the undocumented work force face each day with the fear that they may lose their workers to a Border Patrol sweep. And now there are the Minutemen, an armed citizen patrol group taking border security into their own hands. Crossing Arizona reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.

This is a benefit for the humanitarian aid organization, No More Deaths, based in Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora. No More Deaths provides food, water, and medical aid to migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border through the often-deadly environment of the Sonoran Desert. For more information on their work and how to support them, see www.nomoredeaths.org

Crossing Arizona runs for approximately 75 minutes, and will be followed by a Q+A with volunteers from No More Deaths. Copies of the film will be available for sale at the screening also.
